Why don't we have giant color E-Ink screens? | YD Proptech Wish List By YD Development

Have, you noticed that big, LED TVs are cheaper than last year. That's because prices have dropped an average of 16 per year, since 2000. Screens in all sizes are ubiquitous now, and they get better clearer and cheaper every year. So, what's up with e-ink screens that you see in your Kindle, why is it trapped in time like the ti-83 which, by the way is the same price as a 32-inch, smart, TV, e-ink or e-paper? Is the reflective display technology that you see in devices like the Kindle or more recently, as price tag displays in retail stores? Unlike LCD screens, it has no backlight and causes less strain. On your eyes, the display is made of a film sandwiching, millions of tiny capsules containing negatively charged black pigment and positively charged white pigment. Electric fields are applied to electrodes on each capsule to either bring the black or the white pigment to the top of the film and all the capsules combine to form images.

Color e ink adds a three color filtering layer on top of the black and white film to let through different levels of red, green or blue. One of my top prop tech wish list items if you can even call it. Prop tech is a large format. Color e-ink screen not like an iPad Pro big, I'm talking like six feet, big, so you can hang it on your wall and display all sorts of stuff on it, like famous artwork, to huge pictures of your own face. If you want, because the awesome thing about e-ink is that it looks a lot more like printed paper than a LED screen ever could, and it uses almost no power in comparison to a TV people.

Just don't use TVs as huge static art displays and the advantage of e-ink over a static piece of art on the wall is that you could rotate through all the major works of your favorite artist throughout the course of a week or maybe scenery of a country you wish you could travel to. But you can't, due to the pandemic or personal family photos, an entire business model could be built around this. Maybe people would want to subscribe to certain artists or photographers work so that they could display it in their home. They can log into their personal account and feel a little more at home by seeing their preferred art and photos. One application of e-ink that's sort of onto this is e-ink prism, which is a film that can be applied to architectural products.

So you can program patterns and colors on design elements in a room. So why don't we see giant color eating screens and wall accents everywhere, because they're insanely expensive, while a 32 inch, smart TV costs around 130 bucks, a 32 inch, color e-ink display is north of 3 000. You could buy 23, ti-83s and tile them on your wall at that price. E-Ink is expensive, because only one company makes the displays e-ink corporation. The technology was developed in MIT's media lab in 1997 by a couple undergrads and a professor, a few hundred million dollars of r d and thirteen hundred patents.

Later they have a monopoly on commercial applications for it. Since the demand for current applications don't result in production scale on the level we see in TVs and phones, we're stuck with high pricing without much new r d spend and that's why? You're watching a real estate developer complain about what they're not making I'm looking forward to whenever the patent mode expires, because I think it could unleash a world of potential given enough production scale and further r d, refresh rates and image quality could improve, while prices could finally come down large format. Color e-ink is at the top of yd's prop tech wish list, because it's part of a customizable real estate experience that people can bring with them wherever they travel. That would be game changing and I think it's part of what homes could be like in a hundred years, don't forget to hit like and subscribe, because that video is coming up real soon for today's room, I'm actually going to talk about what's on my Kindle, which of course is an e-ink display. Since today's video was art themed, I recommend checking out Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacs.

I like to think that yd has developed a culture of giving attention to detail, but the Vinci practically invented that, along with a lot of other stuff, you may not realize, and he also got into verbal feuds with Michelangelo in Florence, stay curious noobs. You.
