Earlier this year, Hisense had showcased
new technologies in the CES 2020 (Consumer Electronics Show). One of the
notable devices that stood out was the world’s first color e-ink screen mobile
phone. This device attracted a lot of attention in the event and is now
confirmed to launch on 23rd April 2020.
The primary highlighting feature of the
device is undoubtedly its display. The Hisense device features the world’s
first color e-ink display. The company has achieved this by combining the e-ink
technology with the latest color printing technology to display 4096 colors.
The characteristics of this enable softer colors being displayed, which does
not hurt users’ eyes and is more comfortable for longer use.
This type of display also has certain
advantages as well. Including, ultra low power consumption and continuous
display, even when the power is off. Through this, users can enjoy reading
anytime and are quite similar to the Amazon Kindle reader. The e-ink technology
makes the image or text being display seem more like on paper than conventional
LCD or OLED panels.
Interestingly, the screen does not emit
light on its own but relies on natural light imaging. This means that there is
no blue light being given out, which is generally considered as harmful for the
eyes. During the night, the device will use built in warm front lights as a
source of illumination that relies on the reflection being defused on the
display.
The Hisense Color Ink Reader will arrive
with many different apps for content. It will partner with major publications
from China and more to deliver an optimized reading experience. It will be
launched on the 23rd of April and will be seen in the company’s launch
conference on that day.
