If you've been reading physical books for a while and you're looking to transition to digital copies, you might want to check out an Eink device. Read on to learn more about Eink, its benefits, and where the technology is going.

E-Ink and How it Works

E-ink, also known as "electronic ink" or "electronic paper," is a type of display technology known for its low power consumption and visual similarity to ink on paper. These features make it a perfect fit for many e-readers, such as Amazon Kindle and Kobo devices.

Unlike traditional display devices like LED and TN, which often comprise individual pixels that each display a color, e-ink devices are much more reliant on fascinating chemistry. E-Ink displays are made of a thin film on top of millions of small capsules filled with a bunch of particles floating in a clear fluid. These particles are all colored a specific pigment: in greyscale displays, those pigments will be either black or white.
