E Ink, in collaboration with PocketBook and Sharp, has unveiled a cutting-edge, low-power digital poster known as the InkPoster. This innovative device expands upon E Ink's renowned display technology by showcasing vibrant artwork on an electronic paper screen, making it an exciting addition for art enthusiasts and tech-savvy consumers alike.
Key Features of the InkPoster
The InkPoster is designed to integrate seamlessly into homes and offices, providing a sustainable way to display art. The following features make it a standout product in the market:
- Advanced Display Technology: Utilizing E Ink's Spectra 6 screen technology, the InkPoster promises enhanced color reproduction and visual fidelity.
- Connectivity: Equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, users can effortlessly change and upload images, allowing for a dynamic display of artwork and photographs.
- Long Battery Life: With a sizable battery capacity, the InkPoster can operate for almost a year on a single charge, making it a convenient option for ongoing use.
Size and Specifications
The InkPoster will be offered in three different sizes, catering to various preferences and spaces:
- 13.3-Inch Model: Features a resolution of 1200 x 1600 and a 14,000mAh battery.
- 28.5-Inch Model: Boasts a resolution of 2160 x 3060 and includes Sharp’s IGZO technology for quicker refresh rates, paired with a 20,000mAh battery.
- 31.5-Inch Model: Offers a resolution of 2560 x 1440, also with a 20,000mAh battery, suitable for larger displays.
Art Display and Customization
One of the most exciting aspects of the InkPoster is its access to “thousands of curated artworks,” spanning iconic masterpieces and contemporary pieces, attainable through an associated app. Consumers will also have the opportunity to personalize their display by uploading their own images, transforming the InkPoster into a digital photo frame.
In a welcome contrast to competitors, the InkPoster features no backlighting, allowing for a serene viewing experience, even in dark environments, which is particularly advantageous for bedroom settings.
Comparison with Other E Ink Technologies
The InkPoster sets itself apart as one of the first consumer products employing E Ink’s Spectra 6 display technology. For context, other products such as the Amazon Kindle and Kobo Libra utilize E Ink's Kaleido 3 technology, which while fast, limits the color palette to 4,096 colors. Meanwhile, the Remarkable Paper Pro tablet employs a slower E Ink Gallery 3 screen, supporting over 50,000 colors.
Conclusion: What’s Next for E Ink’s Innovations
While E Ink has not disclosed the exact color range of the Spectra 6 technology, the six-color ink system, which includes green and black, enhances the color gamut, moving it closer to an impressive volume of approximately 60,000 colors. With its unique capabilities and user-friendly features, the InkPoster presents a promising future for digital art displays, establishing new standards for energy-efficient technology.

The InkPoster is set to be available at various price points:
- 13.3-inch model for approximately $599
- 28.5-inch model for around $2,400
