Seamless tile demo
The Dutch company, etulipa, has developed a seamless tile concept which is another breakthrough in digital display technology. The tiles are combined enabling very large billboards to appear as one piece.
Etulipa has developed color displays that reflect sunlight, just like paper. The displays are made up of cells containing three layers of colored oil (cyan, magenta and yellow), which mimics the method used in color printing.
At the heart of etulipa's solution is a revolutionary display technique, called electrowetting. This relies on the surface tension of the liquids and uses a low, applied voltage to cause the oil to spread or contract. The small electrical currents needed make these displays highly energy efficient.
Depending on the color required, the different oils can be switched on or off, forming various combinations. The resulting colors are much brighter than in any other ePaper display.
