Seiko Creates E-Ink Wrist Watch Design
December 29, 2005 | Senay TOPCUOGLU
Seiko has announced an ultra-slim watch design featuring an electrophoretic display (EPD) that will be available in March 2006.
Called the Spectrum, the limited edition (only 500 are being made) watch features a microcapsule-type Electrophoresis display module, offering a thin flexible design that could bend around your wrist.
Seiko is promoting the benefits of the watch as having a high contrast display of pure black and pure white particles, which allow the same contrast as on a printed page and twice the contrast of a LCD panel.
The company is also boasting a thin design, low power consumption because you don't need a backlight and no restrictions in size.
The watch is the result of a joint development effort, combining 'Electronic Ink' technology developed by E Ink Corporation in the USA and Seiko Epson's advanced display manufacturing and electronic circuitry techniques.
