Researchers at the University of Cincinnati have made a breakthrough in “Electrofluidic Display Technology” that could lead to color e-ink displays. They’ve been working with Sun Chemical, Polymer Division and Gamma Dynamics to develop the new e-paper which can be less than 15-microns thick, and it significantly better than the competition in brightness, color saturation, and update speeds.
To expedite commercialization, a new company has been launched: Gamma Dynamics with founding members of this company being John Rudolph as president (formerly of Corning), a world-recognized scientist as CTO (who cannot be announced until July), and Heikenfeld as principal scientist.
“This takes the Amazon Kindle, for example, which is black and white, and could make it full color,” Heikenfeld says. “So now you could take it from a niche product to a mainstream product.”
