E Ink, Seiko Epson and Seiko Watch have demonstrated “Future Now” watch. This is the first watch to utilize an electronic paper display. This design incorporates an easy-to-read, ultra-thin, low-power display integrated into a curved band.
The electronic paper display module is the result of a joint development bringing together 'electronic ink' technology by E Ink and Seiko Epson's advanced display manufacturing and electronic circuitry techniques. This electronic paper technology enables ultra high contrast, which is twice the contrast of an LCD panel.
The new display is much thinner than any conventional display technology, analog or digital. The proto has a low power consumption, since the display is readable under poor light conditions and no backlighting is required. The display also features an inherently stable “memory effect” that requires no power to save an image. For these reasons, battery life can be extended.
Seiko plans to release the 'Future Now' watch in Japan by the spring of 2006. Plans for the international launch are under consideration.
