24 Freescale was the first company to integrate an EPD controller with an ARM Cortex-A8 core (i.mx508), removing the cost of the external hardware controller and its associated memory EPD Advantages: High resolution from any angle Sunlight readability Mimics appearance of ink on paper Flexible Light weight Durable Extremely low power Reduces paper in many applications Target Markets: ereaders Home and office automation Outdoor and digital signage Portable navigation devices Patient/client monitoring DECT phones Kiosks 24

25 Panel PMIC: Must support bi-polar high voltage to move charged particles. Temp Sensor: Movement of particles are temperature-dependent, so a temp sensor is required. EPDC controller: Manipulating display requires special controller. 25

26 EINK has significantly different characteristics than an LCD which requires modifications to how the User Interface is designed. EINK Challenge #1 Slow Refresh Rate The effective display refresh rate varies with waveform selection. EINK Challenge #2 Ghosting and Flashing Effect Depending on the update mode, a ghosting image of the previous image may remain or a flashing effect may occur during the update process. EINK Challenge #3 Collision Events Collision occurs when attempting to change pixels that are already being updated. Application Developers must consider HOW to draw. 26

27 Waveform Selection EINK has several waveform modes which are used for different grayscale depth and different update times. Higher fidelity waveforms will produce better grayscale accuracy, but take longer to complete. Application development has a trade-off between update speed and grayscale accuracy. Black - All pixels are black or white in update Region - B/W waveform should be selected (300-ms) - Maximum pixel depth required with all 16-levels of greyscale - 16-level greyscale waveform should be selected (600-ms) 27

28 Concurrent Screen Update Action to update multiple screen regions with different update mode, dimension and starting time while no geographical overlapping among all regions. 0,0 600,0 t 1 t 3 t 2 t 4 0, ,800 t 1 t 2 t 3 t 4 time 28

29 Small regional updates can be sent to the screen at the panel refresh providing user an LCD-like experience. - B/W waveform mode used for maximum throughput. - Regional updates broken into small areas updates per second 29

30 Update Mode Selection Full vs Partial Partial Update mode will only update pixels that change for the update region. Full will apply a waveform to all the pixels for a global or regional update. Ghosting may occur when using Partial updates. Shorter waveforms will produce more ghosting than longer waveforms. Full updates are used to remove any ghosting by driving the pixels to a known state (such as black) before the final state. (Think Etch-A-Sketch!!). Application will need to decide the usage of Full or Partial based on the user experience expectations. E ED Ghosting Partial Update E D Flashing Full Update 30

31 Collision Handling A pixel must complete its transition before starting a new update. A collision will occur when attempting to change a pixel that is already in flight. Application will experience a longer delay to the final image if collision occurs. Application should be designed to limit overlapping regions on a screen. E Collision! Update E Update Erase t=0 t=100ms t=300ms E Waveform Update #1 Waveform Update #2 31
