12 fps color animation on e-paper

The company Plastic Logic showed a prototype of the display on organic transistors (organic thin-film transistor, OTFT), capable of reproducing color animation at 12 fps. Of course, 12 frames per second is not a video yet, but it’s quite enough for commercials in e-books or animated illustrations in glossy magazines where advertisers can stick in such modules.

This prototype demonstrates that the use of electronic paper can expand beyond the limits of monochrome text "readers", and even these devices themselves can become colored and animated, while maintaining minimal power consumption.

OTFT-type electronic paper consumes energy only when the image is updated and reflects light like regular paper, that is, it does not need backlighting.
