EPS "A-Color"
The A-Color EPS is a high quality, full color reflective display based on E Ink’s Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP™). In the ACeP system, the ink can produce full color at every pixel, without the use of a color filter array (CFA).
ACeP achieves a full color gamut, including all eight primary colors, using only colored pigments. The display utilizes a single layer of electrophoretic fluid which is controlled using voltages compatible with commercial TFT backplanes. The fluid can be incorporated into either microcapsule or Microcup® structures.
The richness of the colors is achieved by having all the colored pigments in every picture element (pixel) rather than the side-by-side pixel colors achieved with a CFA. This eliminates the light attenuation, which can be quite significant.
What’s great about it:
- Ultra-low or no-power consumption
- 32,000 colors
Eye-friendly display (no light emitted)
High contrast
Disadvantages compared to other models:
- Smaller operating temperature range (15 to 35 °C)
- Colors are a bit muted
- Slow display update (when content changes, display flickers for a few seconds)
Applications:
The A-Color EPS is ideal for static displays with high-quality color contents.

EPS "E-Color"
The E-Color EPS uses Spectra 3100 multi-pigment electronic ink by E Ink. It offers the same high-contrast, sunlight readable, low-power performance attributes of the monochrome EPS – with a pop of color.
Color reproduction in the E-Color EPS
The E-Color EPS utilizes black, white, red, and yellow particles to offer vibrant color rich content.
Unlike earlier generations, the Spectra 3100 e-paper has an improved update time, and an expanded temperature range for red and yellow states, to satisfy retailers’ needs to operate ESL tags in various environments within their stores.
What’s great about it:
- Ultra-low or no-power consumption
Eye-friendly display (no light emitted)
4-color display with popping colors Yellow, Red, Black, and White
Disadvantages compared to other models:
- Only 4 colors means no way to display other colors such as green, blue, or violet
- Slow display update (when content changes, display flickers for a few seconds)
Applications:
The E-Color EPS is ideal for signs that need to pop and draw attention, for example SALE signs in a retail environment or electronic shelf tag labels.
