CLEARink have a best-of-all-worlds high-refresh rate color e-paper that want to release products around mid 2020.
- cptskippy 7y agoThey appear to be an early stages startup at best. No sign of product demos or even media photos from their public events on their site. As of last year they had only just partnered with a manufacturer and had yet to ship actual Dev or Demo kits.
- Veedrac 7y agoThey've shown excellent pre-production models, and have $300m in ‘confirmed commitments’. I'm not going to bet they'll be on time, but it seems wrong to dismiss them as just talk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjJ2-cdhwMQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjJ2-cdhwMQ
- cptskippy 7y agoFrom what I've seen, they have 2 demo displays that are locked in cabinets under controlled lighting conditions. They might have a viable product but they're still in the R&D stage from what I can tell.
- Veedrac 7y agoSure, if everything prior to actively mass manufacturing counts as R&D, but they've proven they can manufacture, that the product works and outperforms the competitors, and they have customers. I was objecting to ‘early stages startup’ and ‘No sign of product demos’, not to the idea that there are still challenges to overcome.
