Pervasive Displays offers its full range of Aurora black and white e-paper, or E-ink, electrophoretic displays are available with immediate effect. These chip-on-glass front plane laminate displays make usage of the latest driving waveform technology to create sharp images in a thin design that leaves lots of room for an application’s electronic control circuitry and battery.

To provide a cost-down option for solutions employing EPDs, some products in the range combine their own timing controller (Tcon) and booster circuitry. This serves to minimise the external circuitry needed to interface with the display to reduce the total BOM and eases the software programming needed. For full flexibility, EPDs with an external Tcon are also provided but may need an optional boost circuit.

The V230 range of EPDs support operation over the -25C to 10C temperature range, the V231 EPDs 0C to 50C, and V430 EPDs the -20C to 50C range while providing resolutions of between 100 and 140dpi. A OTP option also enables predefined images to be recalled with no need for long data transfers from a host CPU. For a 3V supply voltage, an updating a typical image requires less than 5mA for a 212 x 104 pixel ESD, taking around two seconds.
