I-ink ayinakho ukubusa emakethe ye-e-reader
Ubuchwepheshe be-Ink Inkampani buveza ukubonisa okufana nephepha eliphansi lokusetshenziswa kwamaphepha elisetshenziswe ngokuyinhloko kubafundi bokuqala be-e-book njenge- Amazon's Kindle .
Ukucwaninga kokuqala nge-e-ink kuqale eMIT's Media Lab, lapho i-patent yokuqala yafakwa khona ngo-1996. Amalungelo okubuchwepheshe obunikazi okwamanje aphethwe yi-E Ink Corporation, eyatholwa inkampani yaseTaiwan Prime View International ngo-2009.
Indlela E-Inkampani Esebenza ngayo
Ubuchwepheshe be-ink e-e-readers yokuqala basebenza ngokusebenzisa ama-microcapsules amancane awamiswa ketshezi abekwe ngaphakathi kocingo lwefilimu. I-microcapsules, efana nobubanzi obufanayo njengezinwele zomuntu, iqukethe kokubili izinhlayiya ezimhlophe ezikhokhiswe kahle futhi zikhokhisa izinhlayiya ezimnyama kabi.
Ukusebenzisa insimu kagesi engalungile kubangela ukuthi izinhlayiya ezimhlophe zifike phezulu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukusebenzisa insimu enamandla kagesi kubangela ukuthi izinhlayiya ezimnyama zifike phezulu. Ngokusebenzisa amasimu ahlukene ezingxenyeni ezihlukahlukene zesikrini, i-e-ink ikhiqiza ukubonisa umbhalo.
Ukubonisa i-ink kuyathandwa kakhulu ngenxa yokuthi kufana nephepha eliphrintiwe. Ngaphandle kokuba abaningi babhekwe njengento elula emehlweni kunezinye izinhlobo zokubonisa, i-e-ink iphinde ibe namandla okusebenzisa amandla, ikakhulukazi uma iqhathaniswa nezikrini zangasese ze-backlit liquid crystal display (LCD). Lezi zinzuzo, kanye nokutholwa kwayo ngabakhiqizi abakhulu be-e-reader efana ne-Amazon ne-Sony, kubangele ukuthi i-e-ink ilawulwe emakethe yokuqala e-book reader.
Ukusetshenziswa kwe-E-Ink
Ekuqaleni kwawo-2000, i-e-ink yayinabantu abaningi e-abafundi abafika emakethe, kuhlanganise ne-Amazon Kindle, i-Barnes neNoble Nook, i-Kobo eReader, i-Sony Reader, nabanye. Kwadunyiswa ngokucaca kwayo ekukhanyeni kwelanga. Isatholakala kuma-e-readers amanye ama- Kindle ne-Kobo , kodwa amanye ubuchwepheshe beskrini bathathe imakethe eminingi ye-e-reader.
Ubuchwepheshe be-ink ye-Eyin buvele kumakhalekhukhwini ambalwa okuqala futhi basakazekela kuzinhlelo zokusebenza ezibandakanya ukusayina kwezimoto, izimpawu zesibhakabhaka ze-elekthronikhi, nezingubo zokugqoka.
Ukulinganiselwa kwe-E-Ink
Naphezu kokuthandwa kwayo, ubuchwepheshe be-e-ink bunemikhawulo yayo. Kuze kube yamuva, i-ink ayikwazanga ukubonisa umbala. Futhi, ngokungafani nokubukwa kwe-LCD yendabuko, ukubonisa okujwayelekile kwe-e-ink akubuyiselwa emuva, okwenza kube inselele ukuzifunda ezindaweni ezincane, futhi abakwazi ukubonisa ividiyo.
Ukuncintisana nokuncintisana okuvela emibonweni yezempi efana ne-LCD ebonakalayo kanye nezikrini ezintsha ezakhiwe ngabathengi abangase babe khona, u-E Ink Corporation wasebenza ukuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe bayo. Yengeze amandla okuthinta isikrini. Le nkampani yaqala ukubonisa umbala ngasekupheleni kuka-2010 futhi yakhiqiza lezi zikrini ezilinganiselwe ngombala ngo-2013. Yabe isimemezela i-Advanced Color ePaper ngo-2016, ebonisa izinkulungwane eziningi zembala. Ubuchwepheshe bombala bubhekiswe ezimakethe zokumaka, hhayi emakethe ye-e-reader. Ubuchwepheshe be-E-ink, obuthola ngokuqashelwa ngokuyinhloko emakethe ye-e-book reader, uye wanda ukuze kube nezimakethe ezibanzi embonini, ezakhiweni, ekubhaleni, nasezingeni lokuphila.
