Paperlike, an electronic ink monitor for your desktop

paperlike It is the first electronic ink monitor to hit the marketa technology that until now was exclusive to electronic books but, given its fantastic acceptance, it has finally dared to use the large format to offer us a very interesting alternative that will help us protect our eyes and avoid fatigue when we have to spend long hours in front of the computer.

The first monitor with electronic ink is called Paperlike

As many of you already know, electronic ink screens operate very differently from what we know from traditional ones such as IPS or AMOLED. However, due to market demands, to date we could only find this type of screen in small formats such as e-readers.

Its fantastic texture and appearance makes us feel like we are really reading directly on the paper, which helps us maintain better attention, allows us to increase reading hours without suffering from annoying fatigue from the brightness of the screens, and in general allows us to take care of our health and stay much more relaxed.

In this case, instead of using backlit pixels, electronic ink screens such as the Paperlike monitor, what they do is use spherical pixels which have half of their structure in black and the other half in white.

Depending on the needs, they will rotate to show the texts and images but, yes, we can only use it in black and white, since it does not offer us the possibility of reproducing colors.

Likewise, we are talking about a refresh rate that will prevent us from being able to play videos, for example, so we basically have to get used to the idea that the Paperlike monitor is focused on those people who have to spend many hours in front of the PC reading documents, news, writing and performing similar tasks.

In this sense, it is crowned as a fantastic option if we use it as a second monitor, whether we are students or workers, and in this way we will not have to give up the possibilities that traditional screens offer us, while we can also enjoy better health by taking readings directly on it.

Its connection is very simple since we only have to use the USB cable and, another advantage, it does not require us to make any electrical connection, but rather It will be powered directly from the USB itself, which greatly improves the possibilities and eliminates a cable that could be quite annoying.
