You most likely don’t print sufficient images. However may the paper-like know-how inside a Kindle maintain the reply?

I don’t print sufficient photos, however the energy draw, ugly twine and display screen glare of digital picture frames have saved me from absolutely embracing the know-how. A brand new digital body, nonetheless, is drawing inspiration from the e-ink screens on eReaders to create a body with minimal glare and energy draw. Introduced throughout CES 2025, the PocketBook InkPoster is a digital image body that makes use of e-ink know-how to show artwork with out cords or backlight.

Developed as a collaboration between PocketBook, E Ink and Sharp, the InkPoster solely attracts energy when it switches the artwork on the display screen. That creates a low-power, eco-conscious wi-fi show that may last as long as a 12 months earlier than needing a recharge, the corporate claims.

However the e-ink design may carry greater than only a decrease energy consumption over LCD artwork shows. PocketBook says that the InkPoster has the “really feel of ink-on-paper with vibrant colours and detailed, brilliant photographs.”

Two of the upcoming fashions, the 31.5-inch and 13.3-inch choices, use an E Ink Spektra 6-color display screen. The corporate explains that the know-how makes use of hundreds of thousands of digital colours which are organized into the specified {photograph} by an electrical cost that situates these inks into tiny Microcups. The end result, it says, is a glare-free display screen that solely makes use of energy when altering the picture. It additionally doesn’t generate warmth or blue gentle.

The 28.5-inch mannequin will combine that very same E Ink display screen with Sharp IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) know-how. The corporate explains that the IGZO part helps the body to replace the picture sooner.

The shows vary from a 1200 x 1600 decision on the compact 13.3-inch mannequin to 2560 x 1440 on the 31.5-inch mannequin. The body can show artwork from the curated collections contained in the InkPoster app, or private images. The body may also be hung vertically or horizontally.
