E Ink adds three colors to its Spectra 6 e-paper display
E Ink has updated its Spectra 6 color e-paper system to support nine colors at the pixel level, up from six.
The new colors are light green, cyan and orange, alongside black, white, red, yellow, green and blue.
The change is meant to improve image quality, especially for photos, and make more colors available directly rather than relying on pixel blending.
The first product with the new panel is the 10-inch Auras Ink photo frame, which costs $349 in the US.
Its 200 pixels per inch is higher than the 150 pixels per inch of the 13-inch Auras Ink, which uses the earlier Spectra 6 panel.
The new system is currently available only on 10-inch displays, and E Ink has not explained exactly how it makes all nine colors or provided refresh-speed details; the panels are slow and not suitable for video.
