The E Ink Spectra 6 display has been awarded the Display of the Year award by the Society for Information Display. E Ink said the Spectra 6 full-color e-paper display is the latest iteration of the company’s Spectra line of color displays and benefits from an advanced color imaging algorithm that allows for a richer color spectrum than ever. The E Ink Spectra 6 display also won the People’s Choice award at Display Week 2023. Worth mentioning, E Ink also introduced the more advanced Spectra 6 Plus display having faster refresh times recently.
This has made the Spectra 6 display come across as a true alternative to color-printed paper traditionally used for advertising purposes. This not only makes the Spectra 6 a viable alternative to printed color paper but you has more benefits in that it consumes very little power. This makes Spectra 6 to be more cost-effective in the long run. Plus, e-paper displays are more environment friendly and can be easily updated to show different content easily, something that would require fresh reprints each time with paper-printed solutions.
“Having our Spectra 6 ePaper display win the Display of the Year award is a testament to E Ink’s unwavering commitment to innovation and excellence,” said Hong-Mei Zang, E Ink Vice President. “Spectra 6, with its enhanced color spectrum and advanced imaging algorithm, not only revolutionizes digital signage but also aligns with our sustainability goals. Spectra 6 empowers retailers and advertisers to deliver captivating content while minimizing environmental impact.”
Spectra 6 offers a 60,000 color gamut and a 30:1 contrast ratio. It being a reflective display makes it have the same look and feel as paper, which includes almost a 180-degree wide viewing angle. It shows rich and vibrant colors while still being extremely soothing to the eyes. The display is more life-like on any reflective display than ever before. The display is comparable to or maybe even better than even the most advanced paper color printers now available. All of this makes the Spectra 6 display ideal for in-store advertising or indoor digital signage.
E Ink further added e-paper displays come across as the most environment-friendly display solutions at present. Using 30 million deployments of 10-inch displays each as a test case, E Ink said e-paper displays come across as 12,000 times more environment friendly when it comes to the amount of CO2 emitted in kilograms compared to LCD or LED displays. Research has also revealed e-paper displays to be 60,000 times more efficient in comparison to their paper counterparts. E Ink has also stated they are committed to achieving RE100 by 2030 and Net Zero by 2040.
“As we continue to innovate, we’re proud to offer solutions that empower businesses with visually striking and energy-efficient displays,” said Johnson Lee, E Ink CEO. “Achieving Net Zero by 2040 and RE100 by 2030 are not just goals; they are integral to our mission of transforming the way the world displays information. We are proud to lead the charge in creating display technologies that are as sustainable as they are groundbreaking.”
The E Ink Spectra 6 display is going to be showcased at booth 829 at Display Week to be held from May 14-16, 2024.
