I have to say, I really like e-paper. And it\u2019s come a long way since the crude early Kindles \u2014 nowadays you have e-readers that are as high-resolution as the best phones and iPads. And they\u2019re set to get even better if E-Ink\u2019s latest screens make it into a few products, as I hope they do.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s Display Week in LA, which is exactly what it sounds like: All the display makers get together and admire each other\u2019s displays. This year there\u2019s no doubt a lot of talk around the water cooler about OLED, but E-Ink isn\u2019t letting that get to them.<\/p>\n

The company is showing off a few new screen types, collaborations with Japan Display Inc, that put the best e-readers on the market today to shame. Just so we\u2019re clear, I\u2019m talking about the fabulous Aura One and the Kindle Oasis, both of which have a display density of about 300 pixels per inch.<\/p>\n

What would you say if I told you E-Ink was showing off a display that\u2019s\u2026 400 PPI? Would you be impressed? Yes? Well then you\u2019ll be happy to hear they\u2019re also showing one that\u2019s 600 PPI<\/a> \u2014 twice that of its toughest competitors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You can see in that (highly magnified) picture just how much more information can be fit on a higher-PPI screen, and how much less aliased angled lines are. Really, this will make type look fantastic.<\/p>\n

Of course, its competitors are real devices and these displays are tiny strips at a trade show, but still, I get the feeling we\u2019re going to see this tech trickle down to e-readers sooner or later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
