The Society for Information Display (SID) announced the winners of its
first ever People’s Choice Awards at its 56th International
Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known as Display Week 2019, at the
McEnery Convention Center in San Jose, Calif. Thousands voted on new
products that will be hitting the shelves both in the US and
internationally within the next few years.
“On behalf of SID, I congratulate CLEARink Displays for winning SID’s
first ever People’s Choice Award, at the Display Week International
Symposium and Exhibition,” said Dr. Helge Seetzen, President of SID.
“This is one of the most prestigious awards in our industry; the winners
were chosen from over 200 exhibitors by our attendees from all over the
world.”
CLEARink’s patent protected, revolutionary display technology based on
Electrophoretic Total Internal Reflection (eTIR) is low power, sunlight
readable, color and video capable. CLEARink’s 9.7″ tablet-sized displays
demonstrated at Display Week are aimed at tablets and PC’s for education
and other applications. The high contrast panels with 4096 colors mimic
the textbook experience. The displays are video capable up to 30 frames
per second and this feature not only allows educational video content,
it also enables fast page turns, Internet browsing, ability to jot down
notes quickly without lag and can replicate the white board experience
on a tablet. The panels were driven at less than 5V, consuming very
little power. The 227 dpi resolution allows for drawing fine lines,
cursive writing in any language, shows maps and images with great detail.
“It is an honor to win Display Week’s first People’s Choice Award,” said
Frank Christiaens, CEO of CLEARink Displays. “We thank SID and the
industry attendees that voted for us. Our team has accomplished a lot in
the past year; we have best in class reflective displays, enviable
investors and $300M in business from global customers. Our vision is to
build the most valuable display company that solves market problems and
has a deep impact on the industry and society.”
