Advantages of EINK

E-paper display utilizes microcapsule electrophoretic technology for displaying, the principle is: charged particles suspended in clear fluid will move to sides of microcapsule when electric field is applied, making the microcapsule become visible by reflecting ambient light, just as traditional printed paper.
E-paper display will clearly display images/texts under lamplight or natural light, requires no backlight, and features nearly up to 180° viewing angle. It is usually used as e-reader due to its paper-like effect.

Quick response, low latency

Refresh technology based on FPGA, quick response, low latency

Multi mode support

Three available modes: GC16, A2, and A2+, selected via Mode button

Contrast and refresh rate adjustment

Supports up to 10 contrast options, and 5 refresh rate options
Combined with different mode, it is possible to tune your best own effect

Refresh rate of 5 has the fastest effect (up to 15fps), the lower refresh rate, the darker display effect, vice versa.
For better experience, it is recommended to use rate of 5 for video, and 1-3 for documents.
