How to make your selection?
–Refresh cycle
- Note that EPDs are suitable for refresh cycles (global update, full screen update) from tens of seconds to minutes.
- Fast update rate (partial update – few hundred milliseconds) is feasible but please share your requirements with us for further support.
- An EPD is more suitable for applications where a static image is maintained without electricity and doesn’t need to be refreshed frequently.
–Temperature & colors
- Determine whether the operating temperature or color is the primary requirement for your product or use case.
- If having red or yellow as one of the EPD colors is a primary requirement, note that Spectra EPDs cannot be operated at sub-zero temperatures.
- If you need your product to operate under 0℃, wide-temperature EPD (black and white) will be the only suitable model. Selecting Freezer if your case needs down to -25℃.
- We recommend selecting Wide Temperature if it is not essential that you have a three- or four-colors display.
