Luxury Phosphor Watch Uses E Ink Printed Display

The Phosphor™ branded luxury watches feature a bold geometry, generously oversized buttons and knobs, and a luxuriously thick strap. However what makes the E Ink watch truly unique is that the entire watch dial is an E Ink Vizplex™ electronic paper display.

Although revolutionary in concept, electronic ink is a straightforward fusion of chemistry, physics and electronics. It has millions of tiny microcapsules, about the diameter of a human hair. In one incarnation, each microcapsule contains positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule where they become visible to the user. This makes the surface appear white at that spot. At the same time, an opposite electric field pulls the black particles to the bottom of the microcapsules where they are hidden. By reversing this process, the black particles appear at the top of the capsule, which now makes the surface appear dark at that spot.
