E Ink Vizplex
[edit]E Ink Vizplex is the retroactive name used to refer to the first generation of the E Ink displays. Vizplex was the internal name of E Ink's display technologies, which was announced in May 2007.[1] E Ink originally used the term "Vizplex" as an umbrella term that included multiple generations of E Ink display technologies. For example, E Ink Pearl and E Ink Triton used the text "E Ink Vizplex" at the bottom of startup screens for those displays. However, as more generations were released, "Vizplex" became more often used to refer to specifically the first generation of the E Ink product line, in order to have a designation for the first generation to distinguish it from future generations.
E Ink Pearl
[edit]E Ink Pearl, announced in July 2010, is the second generation of E Ink Vizplex displays, a higher-contrast screen built with E Ink Pearl imaging film.[2] The updated Amazon Kindle DX was the first device announced to use the screen, and the Kindle Keyboard, Kindle 4, and Kindle Touch also incorporate the Pearl display.[3][4] Amazon still uses this display technology in the Kindle (all generations, minus the Paperwhite, Voyage, and Oasis series). Sony has also included this technology into its latest release of the Sony Reader Touch edition.[5] This display is also used in the Nook Simple Touch,[6] Kobo eReader Touch,[7] Kobo Glo, Onyx Boox M90,[8] X61S[9] and Pocketbook Touch.[10]
E Ink Mobius
[edit]E Ink Mobius (also known as E Ink Flex) is a modification of E Ink Pearl. It does not have one of the main disadvantages of the first two models of E Ink displays: a substrate made of very thin glass. E Ink Vizplex and E Ink Pearl have fragile screens which can be broken easily. The substrate of E Ink Mobius is made of is an E Ink display using a flexible plastic backplane, so it can resist small impacts and some flexing.[11]
Nearly A4-sized E Ink Mobius devices make up the most expensive e-readers.[12] These include Products using this include Sony Digital Paper DPT-S1,[13] Pocketbook CAD Reader Flex,[12] Dasung Paperlike HD and Onyx Boox MAX 3.
E Ink Triton
[edit]E Ink Triton, announced in November 2010, is the third generation of E Ink Vizplex displays: a color display that is easy to read in high light. The Triton is able to display 16 shades of gray, and 4,096 colors.[14] E Ink Triton is used in commercially available products such as the Hanvon color e-reader,[15] JetBook Color made by ectaco and PocketBook Color Lux made by PocketBook.
E Ink Triton 2 is the last generation of E Ink Triton color displays. The e-readers featuring it appeared in 2013. They include Ectaco Jetbook Color 2 and Pocketbook Color Lux.[16][17]
E Ink Carta
[edit]E Ink Carta, announced in January 2013 at International CES, is the fourth generation of E Ink displays and features 768 by 1024 resolution on 6-inch displays, with 212 ppi pixel density.[18] Named Carta, it is used in the Kindle Paperwhite 1st (2012) and 2nd (2013) generations, the Pocketbook Touch Lux 3 (2015),[19] and the Kobo Nia (2020).
