External Company Press Release E Ink, a leading innovator of electronic ink technology, today announced the launch of the world's first On-Cell Touch ePaper module. This new On-Cell touch ePaper module supports both the E Ink Kaleido™ Plus Print Color technology platform and the E Ink Carta™ black and white ePaper technology platform.
"E Ink is committed to the ongoing research and development on ePaper materials and ePaper display modules. Most eReader and eNote device manufacturers laminate a touch sensor on top of ePaper displays. With the integration of touch into the ePaper module, the optical performance of ePaper displays increase while driving lower a BOM (bill of materials). The new On-Cell Touch ePaper module will become a standard module product for use in eReaders and eNotes, giving customers product options with a more price competitive edge," said Dr. FY Gan, President of E Ink.
