Paper 7 RLCD Tablet Set For Launch in May, Offers High Refresh Rate, Glare-Free Display

Here comes the newest entrant to the e-paper tablet segment – the Paper 7, TechBang reported. Developed by the Hong Kong-based Harbor Innovations in partnership with Hannspree, Paper 7 features a 7.8-inch 768 x 1024 pixels reflective RLCD panel with no backlight present. This ensures the display is soft on the eyes as there is no glare associated with backlit LCD panels, which are inherently non-reflective.

With the backlight module eliminated, the RLCD panel depends entirely on the ambient light to illuminate the screen. This is achieved by reflecting the ambient light with the help of a reflective layer. This ensures the liquid crystal layer can modulate the light reflected to the user.

This ensures a soothing viewing experience for the user and improves readability, even under bright sunlit conditions. RLCD panels also consume less power than LCD counterparts while producing less heat. Another positive of the RLCD panel is its 60 Hz refresh rate, apart from its support for 16.77 million colors. That said, color vividness gets reduced significantly.

This makes RLCD a viable alternative to E Ink e-paper displays that lack colors and have low refresh rates. The Paper 7 otherwise comes with an octa-core MediaTek Helio P75 SoC and an ARM Mail-G52 MC2 GPU. There is 8 GB of memory and 256 GB of eMMC storage onboard. It supports Wi-Fi and Bluetooth wireless connectivity and a USB Type-C port.

The accompanying stylus offers 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity and can be used for writing or drawing. It has front and rear-facing cameras and measures just 5.5mm in profile. At 242 grams, it is pretty handy too. The 3100mAh battery should allow for several days of usage comfortably.

The Paper 7 runs Android 14, which means you will have all the advantages of an Android device. That includes numerous applications for almost any need that you can think of. The Paper 7 tablet is slated for launch in May 2025 and will set you back US$299. It is now available for crowdfunding on Kickstarter.

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
