Lilbits: A 60 Hz E Ink monitor, Lenovo’s next gaming tablet, and Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders

When Nintendo introduces the Switch 2 earlier this month the company said it would go up for pre-order on April 9th. Two days later the company put those plans on hold while it tried to gauge the impact of global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Now Nintendo says its next game console will go up for pre-order on April 24th. It’s still expected to ship June 5th and sell for $450, […]

Dasung Paperlike 103 is a 10.3 inch E Ink monitors with a 1872 x 1404 pixel greyscale display and support for refresh rates up to 60 Hz... if you're willing to put up with a little ghosting. Announced earlier this year it's now available in the US for $349. fave.co/4cC9tr8 #Dasung #DasungPaperlike103 #EInkMonitor #EInk #ePaper

@amin what is his writing month thing?? Anyway thanks for the reminder: I've been in front of a screen too long (even though if it's sometimes #epaper) 💻

*goes to find some paper*

Ich hab eine Idee, aber keine Ahnung: Ich hätte gern einen Anstecker mit E-Ink-Display und Anzeigenwechsel per Knopfdruck. Also ein magnetischer oder ansteckbarer Button, der zwischen mindestens zwei Anzeigen wechseln kann.

Anwendungsbeispiele:
• "Ich nutze WERO" → Knopfdruck → QR-Code zum Bezahlen erscheint
• "Ich nutze Threema/Signal" → Knopfdruck → QR-Code zur Kontaktaufnahme erscheint
• Namensschilder mit wechselbaren Informationen
• Stimmungsanzeiger für nonverbale Kommunikation

Fragen an die #Fediverse-Community:
- Kennst Du ähnliche Projekte?
- Wer könnte so etwas umsetzen?
- Was sind realistische Kosten?
- Fallen Dir weitere Anwendungen ein?
- Welche #Hashtags sollte ich ergänzen oder ändern?

E Ink introduces Marquee color display technology for outdoor signage. With a 4-particle color system it offers a wide range of colors. But with refresh times of 5-7 seconds, it's made for signage not eReders or tablets. #EInk #EInkMarquee #DigitalSignage #Displays #ColorEInk #EPaper eink.com/news/detail/E-Ink-Mar

Bigme teases an upcoming portable monitor with a 13.3 inch Color ePaper display featuring 150 pixels per inch and up to a 30 Hz refresh rate. The tease image also suggests it'll be able to clip onto laptop for use as a second screen. reddit.com/r/Bigme/comments/1j #Bigme #ColorEPaper #EInk #EPaper #PortableMonitor

A Chinese company called Guangzhou Aoyi Electronics Technology has unveiled a 31.2 inch color E Ink display with support for 18 Hz screen refresh rates. While video looks choppy, it should be better suited to graphics than other E Ink digital signage/poster-sized screens. #EInk #EPaper #Aoyi ithome.com/0/840/654.htm

Has everyone noticed?
Here in #Germany almost all #supermarkets use #epaper displays to show prices. They look great. It's hard to notice that it's not ink on dead trees.
That's thousands of displays per shop. Times thousands of shops in the entire country.

Some of those displays break or otherwise get replaced.

So there must be piles of used displays around the country... but where?
Does any of my fellow #hackers know how to get some of that #trash treasure?

This #ePaper seems to have 7 internal LUT sets for different temperatures. At 20'C refresh takes 4 secs. By fixing temp sensor to > 50'C, refresh takes 3.5 secs and there's no difference in picture.

I copied this "fast" table and started reducing iterations and frame counts so that picture quality still remains intact.

I've now reached < 1 s refresh, even for the full 648x480 and it still looks very nice. And now it's fast enough for simple #Linux terminal use!

This week's #ePaper #hacking status: Got partial updates working nicely (pixel-wise) on 15€ unbranded 5.83" WFT0583CZ61. It's just as slow as full refresh, but limits flickering to the updated area, like a single 8x16 char, so the other part of the screen remains readable during refresh.

Now I try to make custom LUTs to make it faster. Nice; all registers are documented but no mention about operation principle whatsoever. Typical trial-and-error #Linux driver programming.

Aby to bylo ještě pěknější... 7.5" ePaper je lepený na plošném spoji, kde je jen ePaper konektor a vodiče k ESPink desce. Celý displej je tak tenčí a bavíc se stabilní základnou. No jo, ale jak to pojmenovat? Podpora služby ŽivýObraz samozřejmostí. #epaper #eink #esp32 #espink

I made a thing - An e-paper literature clock. The display updates itself once per minute with a quote from a book that contains the current time, see photo for an example.

I hasten to add that this isn't my original idea, many similar projects can be found linked on the Github page.

Anyhoo, if you're interested in building your own, all the information, along with my code (Python) is available on my GitHub presence :

github.com/alexdyas/literature

I've built many other projects, but this is the first time I'm publishing the complete code and documentation publicly, so it's a bit of an experiment. I hope to do so with other projects in the future, and maybe retrospectively with some previous projects.

(Constructive) feedback most welcome :-)

It is based on a raspberry Pi and a Waveshare 3.5" e-paper hat.

I may try an ESP32 version in the future, the Pi is really overkill for such a small project.

Enjoy!

Verleger-Verband: E-Paper- und Print-Abos könnten sich in Zukunft ausgleichen

Der Bundesverband Digitalpublisher und Zeitungsverleger erwartet, dass E-Paper bis 2030 einen genauso hohen Anteil an den Abos ausmachen wie Printprodukte.
