E Ink creates JustWrite technology for drawing with no latency
There are plenty of digital note taking devices on the market such as the Sony Digital Paper, Remarkable and the Onyx Boox Note. E Ink has just created some new technology that might revolutionize the way we draw on an e-paper screen.
E Ink is calling this new tech JustWrite and it delivers a natural writing experience without the use of a TFT backplane. Exhibiting almost no latency in pen writing, this technology closely resembles writing on paper, natural surfaces or marker boards. The film can be produced via roll to roll manufacturing typical of E Ink’s electronic paper, and requires only a writing stylus and simple electronics to enable functionality. The simplicity of this technology enables any surface, small to large, to be digital writing enabled. The technology is compatible with an optional digitizer, but it could also be used with just a stylus.
E Ink is expanding their manufacturing capabilities
The e-Reader industry has enjoyed a tremendous resurgence in the past twelve months and many companies are seeing success with their ebook readers. There were more e-readers released this year, than any other year. E Ink has disclosed that they are getting so many orders that they plan on expanding their manufacturing capabilities next year, to keep up with demand.
President Johnson Lee said their current capacity is now fully booked and their plant in Linkou, northern Taiwan, will not be sufficient to satisfy demand. As a result, the company is considering using part of the capacity at its plant in the US for production in 2019 in addition to the current focus on manufacturing e-book reader applications, Lee added.
