Although eReader lovers do not give much importance to this news, the truth is that this union is important as well as interesting. Japan Display and E-Ink have teamed up temporarily for the creation of certain products with its most cutting-edge technologies.
E-Ink is a company that has stood out in the electronic ink sector while Japan Display specializes and has managed to shine in the LCD display market. Both companies will try to combine these technologies to launch new products.
E-ink keyboard could be one of the first products of Japan Display and E-Ink
So Japan Display will take advantage of e-ink technologies to create low-power panels that are easier to see in sunlight or other harsher conditions while E-Ink will try take advantage of Japan Display technologies such as Pixel Eye or LTPS which will make E-Ink panels can be used in contexts other than just the eReader, such as creating panels for IoT, for smart cars or for educational contexts.
Although a future or a close calendar of dates has not been mentioned, after this union talk about new products like an e-ink keyboard, something that could well launch E-Ink and Japan Display or offer it to its main customers such as Apple itself.
In any case, as you can see, this union may have a great future, although it must be emphasized that this union does not end with both companies, far from it. The union is temporary and in order to be able to communicate all its technologies to launch better products. But What will your competitors say? Will we see any electronic ink color screen? Will there be any LCD screen as benign as an e-ink screen? what do you think?
