Yesterday E Ink announced the launch of a new touchscreen technology for ereaders and e-notes that improves contrast of E Ink screens by 40% for color Kaleido screens and 30% for black and white Carta screens.
The new touchscreen that E Ink has developed is called On-Cell Touch. They don’t give any technical details about it, but apparently it’s cheaper than traditional capacitive touchscreens and it can be used with both flexible and glass-based E Ink screens.
This will be exciting to see on colour E Ink screens which appeared a bit washed out. Colour certainly makes magazines, graphic stories, etc more viable but has long been needing better contrast and clarity.
