Initially, monitors were monochrome (mostly greenish), and this is how the first computers began to spread. Then came color, and later, ultra-thin, fast-response screens.

Along the way, e-ink displays appeared, which were disliked by almost everyone because of their slow response times, despite low power consumption, and were only suitable for use in e-readers that didn't need frequent refreshes.

But the technology has continued to develop, and today we have fast-response e-ink displays with a 75Hz refresh rate and low latency. This could change almost everything when it comes to making them useful in many applications.

One such development comes from the company Modos, which presents its Modos Tech e-paper 75Hz display model, with a paper-like display, low power consumption, latency of less than 100 ms, and which could be an alternative to LCD and similar technologies. Especially for those who spend a lot of time in front of a screen and want greater visual comfort.

Those of us who own an e-reader know how comfortable it is to read, and if that can be brought to a work computer, the change could be interesting for some.

And for those who don't know, the color e-ink sector is currently experiencing its biggest revolution. The goal is to achieve the vibrancy of a conventional tablet with the minimal power consumption and eye-friendly nature of an e-reader.

Today, the current leader seems to be E Ink Holdings. This Taiwanese company holds almost all the key patents and currently dominates the market with three different technologies, but it's still unknown which one will ultimately become the market leader. Everything is changing rapidly.

And then there are the implementers, those who offer products with e-ink screens (Boox, Amazon, etc.) who are offering color models, but they still have a lot of room for improvement.

There are quite a few competitors, but it remains to be seen which technology will prevail, as the potential market is very large if they can achieve an acceptable price-to-performance ratio.

Many people would like to have a screen that is easy on the eyes, with low power consumption and low latency.

This is just a matter of time, and it doesn't seem to be too long.
