Electronic ink sign
Electronic ink sign. Close-up of a letter in a sign printed with electronic ink. Materials coated in this ink can have text downloaded onto them electronically. The digital nature of the ink allows the text to be changed so a book, for example, can hold many titles. The ink consists of tiny transparent spheres containing microscopic white balls and a blue dye. When an electric current is applied, the balls, or microcapsules, rise up through the blue dye and become visible, or sink. By controlling where they rise and where they sink, a message can be formed. The ink was developed by Joseph Jacobson at MIT, USA. The sign was made by E Ink, a company Jacobson co-founded

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the incredible capabilities of electronic ink technology. In this close-up shot, we are mesmerized by a letter in a sign printed with electronic ink. Unlike traditional printing methods, materials coated with this innovative ink can have text downloaded onto them electronically, revolutionizing the way information is displayed. The digital nature of electronic ink allows for endless possibilities and adaptability. Imagine a book that can hold multiple titles or signage that can be easily updated without any physical changes. This remarkable feat is made possible by tiny transparent spheres containing microscopic white balls and a blue dye within the ink. When an electric current is applied, these microcapsules either rise up through the blue dye to become visible or sink back down again. By skillfully controlling their movement, intricate messages and designs can be formed on various surfaces. It's worth noting that this groundbreaking ink was developed by Joseph Jacobson at MIT's Media Laboratory in the USA. The sign featured in the photograph was created by E Ink, a company co-founded by Jacobson himself. This image serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of technological advancements. It sparks curiosity about how such innovations will continue to shape our world and transform industries beyond what we currently perceive as possible.
