Dasung introduced it’s first E Ink monitor at CES 2015 and was met with complaints about bad drivers and faulty displays. They followed it up with a second model in a successful Indiegogo campaign in July 2016, raising over $190,000. A new model is available for pre-order dubbed the “Paperlike Pro” and appears to receive substantial improvements, including an HDMI port. It retains the Paperlike Second Generation’s 13.3″ screen, and max resolution of 1600×1200, and has no backlight, and can be run entirely off of a single USB connection.



This has been a difficult product to find information on. When I initially found this news, I was thinking it would be quite affordable based on the E Ink based E-Readers that have come around. While I have no information on the new “Pro” model pricing, some scouring finds that when on Indiegogo they were available for $700, with a price tag of $995 after the campaign. While I love the idea of an E Ink display for work, and the portability of it only needing a single USB connection to power it and provide the picture, the price is off-putting.

Paperlike revolutionizes the convention of a display by bringing the digital space into the paper of real world. To protect eyes, health, and well-being, DASUNG profoundly follows the natural laws of maintaining the way of our human ancestors have been reading the texts and images.
