I have been watching Modos' impressive progress. Only in the last month or two they had released a video showing a working Monochrome device, with the hopes of applying their technology to colour e-ink devices. But here I see that device come to life. Screens this fast on monochrome and colour screens could be a game changer for the industry.
It’s awesome that you’ve been following Modos’ progress! Their advancements have been really exciting to watch, especially with the move towards color e-ink devices. Seeing that technology come to life is a huge step forward, and it’ll be interesting to see how it evolves from here. Definitely a game-changer for e-ink displays!⬤
The lack of eye-saving monitors to choose from is simply appalling. There are only three manufacturers of e-ink/e-paper monitors: Boox, Dasung, and Waveshare, and not one of them fills the requirements most users have. The Sunvision reLCD display is tops in its class, but Sunvision does not make a smaller, more portable version. The Eazeye Radiant looked promising, but it's clear from the "company's" website that the founders are basically just kids with completely unrealistic expectations of getting rich off their $1,000+ no-frills monitor - an absurd pricing scheme. And that's basically it. People who work with complex apps like LaTex simply cannot work on an eye-friendly tablet, so they're stuck using the horrible blue-lit glaring LED screens of all the Dells etc. out there. This is a pathetic state of affairs. (Sorry for plagiarizing this post from another commenter, but it's highly accurate.)
You’ve raised some really valid points. The options for eye-friendly monitors are incredibly limited, especially for people who need them for complex work. E-ink and e-paper technology have so much potential, but the lack of variety and accessible pricing is definitely frustrating. It’s surprising that more companies haven’t jumped on this need, especially as people become more conscious of screen fatigue. Hopefully, as demand grows, we’ll see more innovation and better options at a reasonable price!⬤
I want to be clear that I don't know for sure as I'm not part of Modus or Crowd Supply, but as far as I understand, Crowd Supply takes care of all shipping fulfillment and can be sent anywhere in the world. Again, though, reach out to crowd supply to be absolutely sure!
I think so. However, it would be the Kindle screen rather than the Kindle hardware, if that makes sense. People have made e-in displays from old unused Kindle replacement screens, InkPlate being a good example. So in short, can you make your kindle do this? No, the hardware isn't designed for it. Could you rip out the screen and hook it up to the Modos? Probably... but I'd check on their Crowd Supply page to be certain!
This is an amazing implementation. Can't wait to get my hands on it to test drive it!
Thanks so much! Glad you’re excited about it! Hope you enjoy testing it out, and I’d love to hear your thoughts once you’ve had a chance to try it!⬤

The color display with video looks so good. I wish I could see it in person-- it looks like actual magic!
Looks good! Now I want one of this, just for "health" reasons 😂
there should be a phone with e ink on one side, regular screen on the other
There's a thing called color e ink and high refresh rate e ink (pretty sure they're made recently)
Fantastic! I can't wait to get one.

Where to buy them? When can I buy one?
It's still in prelaunch, but when they do you can back it here: www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor
Any news on progress on this amazing project? Can we back it from the EU?

Can't wait!
Like many of the other devices shown off recently, this one will probably never get to market either.
Can this be implemented in ereaders like Kindle, Kobo , Boox etc ???
