They demonstrated true color in 2016. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2V9iuTW3sA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2V9iuTW3sA I would guess another 3 to 4 years to consumer availability.
- JoshTriplett 9y agoThat's really impressive. I look forward to seeing that in production. (Also, some searching suggests that it's "tens of thousands of colors" rather than true color, but that's still a major improvement, and more than enough for the majority of the web sans photographs.)
- linuxkerneldev 9y ago> "tens of thousands of colors" rather than true color My meaning by true color was color achieved through actual pigment pixels versus older E-Ink products like triton that achieved color through LCD-like RGB color filters on top of reflective/non-reflective pixels. The difference between the two is quite stark.
