Dasung has announced a pair of new E Ink tablets – Dasung Not-eReader 078 Revolutionary Edition and Dasung Not-eReader 103 Revolutionary Edition featuring a 7.8-inch and 10.3-inch E Ink display, respectively. The company is claiming the new Dasung Revolutionary Edition E Ink Tablets to be the world’s first to come with a 50 Hz refresh rate.
According to ITHome, both the E Ink Tablets come with 1872 × 1404 resolution panels having a 4:3 aspect ratio. Of course, the biggest selling point is the 50 Hz refresh rate, which will allow for smoother E Ink motion and interaction with negligible or minimized stuttering and reduced frame drops. Scrolling is going to be smoother than is otherwise the case with E Ink displays, while video playback is also going to be smoother.
Dasung Not-eReader 078 Revolutionary Edition
Specs specific to the Not-eReader 078 include a 300 PPI resolution, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB of internal storage. Power comes from a 5400 mAh battery, which should be enough to last a couple of days at least, even though the company has yet to reveal anything specific on this so far. Also, the point to note here is that the Not-eReader 078 is strictly a tablet device and does not support display-as-monitor. It lacks the external monitor or mirroring functionality that some earlier Dasung products offered.
Dasung Not-eReader 103 Revolutionary Edition
While the larger Not-eReader 103 is known to have the same 1872 × 1404 display resolution, the company isn’t mentioning it to have a 300 PPI pixel density the same way it did for the Not-eReader 078. However, both tablets are reported to be using the higher-density panels at the stated resolution.
Implications of a 50 Hz refresh rate
A 50 Hz refresh rate for the new Dasung Revolutionary Edition E Ink tablets is a big deal, considering that E Ink typically suffers from a slow refresh rate. That makes it better suited for reading or displaying static content, but not for motion. While a 50 Hz E Ink panel still falls short of LCD or OLED, which have 60 Hz displays at the bottom spectrum, it still is positioned as a step towards a much smoother UI, video, and animation playback, along with a better overall reading experience with reduced ghosting.
Pricing and availability
The company is yet to reveal when the latest Dasung Revolutionary Edition E Ink tablets will be hitting store shelves or will be up for pre-order. Similarly, it is not known when it will be introduced globally or what it is going to cost. Stay tuned for pricing info and other details when they become available.
