【ePaper Screen Historical Impression/Advantages】

Before 2020, when it came to ePaper screens or ePaper devices, the first impression still revolved around "black and white text display" and "low refresh rate." These limitations were the initial imaging effects achieved due to early technology principles. During this period, Kindle, as an enlightening product, essentially completed the initial education of the ePaper screen market. It not only provided users with basic experiential understanding of this product category but also cultivated a large group of consumers with digital reading habits. More and more users personally experienced the many advantages and pleasant experiences that ePaper devices brought.

For instance, ePaper displays have higher display quality compared to LCD screens, offering a more gentle, natural, and paper-like display effect with excellent readability. They do not cause eye fatigue or discomfort after prolonged use like LCD screens do, making them more in line with human reading habits and providing a more comfortable reading experience. Moreover, ePaper are more energy-efficient as they consume power only during switching, resulting in significantly lower power consumption compared to other display technologies like LCDs.

Furthermore, as people envision a smarter lifestyle, users tend to prefer more flexible content display methods and touch interactive experiences, all of which are well-reflected in ePaper devices. The low power consumption, high visibility, lightweight structure, and eye-friendly experience brought about by reflective displays are some of the key characteristics of ePaper.

【ePaper Screen Disadvantages and Demands】

However, the drawbacks are also evident, as most users criticize the low refresh rate and slow response of ePaper. The primary concern remains the "shortcoming" of not being able to display colors. At that time, ePaper devices were still in the "black and white" stage, and the vast demand for colors from users, such as colored notes, reading comics, viewing images, satisfying daily social interactions, and browsing information, could not be effectively met. If there could be a technological breakthrough in color display, the market prospects for color ePaper devices would be immensely amplified, even potentially challenging conventional display products in specific market segments.

【B1 Pro: World's First Color ePaper Smart eNote】

 Driven by a keen awareness of the vast market potential for color ePaper and the upstream suppliers' provision of color ePaper technology to terminal manufacturers since 2020, Bigme seized the opportunity and quickly followed suit. They swiftly initiated the research and development plans for Color ePaper Smart eNote. Conducting extensive market research to fully understand the various demands of real users, they simultaneously worked tirelessly on sampling, conducting repeated testing, and refining the product. Finally, the world's first 10.3-inch Color ePaper Smart eNote, the B1 Pro, came into existence.

During the development of this pioneering color ePaper device, Bigme made continuous adjustments and verifications to the "color enhancement algorithm" directly related to color display to provide users with the best possible color display effects. Starting from initial results, they further optimized and maximized the color quality, never settling for mediocrity but striving for perfection, and fulfilling the high expectations and demands of users without compromise on quality. In November 2020, the B1 Pro was officially launched, marking its grand debut in the world of color ePaper, causing a sensation in the ePaper industry.

Users who had long anticipated color ePaper devices flocked to experience the B1 Pro, garnering widespread support and recognition. The market demand for color ePaper products was effectively validated and officially established.

【S3 Color: World's First 100PPI Color ePaper Smart eNote】

Not long after the launch of B1 Pro, the innovative and breakthrough-oriented Bigme was not satisfied with the initial achievements. In comparison, the 75PPI color resolution seemed too low. However, breaking through was not easy due to limitations in color screen technology from suppliers at that time. Fortunately, a more advanced color screen technology called Kaleido Plus was introduced. Bigme promptly adopted it and through relentless research and development efforts, the world's first 7.8-inch Kaleido Plus Color ePaper Smart eNote, S3 Color, was grandly launched in January 2021. This represented the best color resolution achievable with the current technological standards, upgrading from 75PPI in the B1 Pro to 100PPI in the S3 Color. Though it may seem like a minor numerical improvement, the visual experience was significantly enhanced, providing an obvious and high-definition sensation, making it a tremendous advancement in color ePaper screen display.

The 7.8-inch S3 Color, upon its release, quickly gained favor among users seeking convenience in their travels. The higher color resolution offered a superior color experience, showcasing the embodiment of Bigme's craftsmanship spirit. They wholeheartedly developed the product to the utmost potential within existing technological constraints, delivering an extraordinary product experience that exceeded users' expectations. This represents the first level of Bigme's spirit: the integration of product and self.

The demands are continuously evolving, and Bigme stays closely attuned to user needs, perceiving the connection between users and market demands. This represents the second level of Bigme's spirit: the integration of self and others. As the second global debut of color ePaper screen products from Bigme, although S3 Color achieved significant improvements in color display and resolution, there was still considerable room for enhancement in terms of performance experience, which echoed the voices of numerous users. Responding to these new demands, Bigme swiftly initiated new product research and development and introduced the world's first 10.3-inch Kaleido Plus Color ePaper Smart eNote, B1 Pro Plus, with the Android 11 open system. The Android 11 open system is equipped with a more advanced quad-core A55 1.8GHz CPU and a large storage capacity of 4+128GB, offering comprehensive performance upgrades compared to B1 Pro and S3 Color. It runs faster, synchronously improves the color resolution from 100PPI to 117PPI, and supports the download and installation of more 64-bit third-party apps, including Google Play, to better meet users' diverse new needs.

In February of 2023, the color screen supplier introduced the latest Kaleido 3 color screen technology, and as the pioneer of Color ePaper Smart eNote, Bigme once again took the lead. They launched the world's first 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 Color ePaper Smart eNote, inkNote Color+, with even higher PPI, achieving a significant improvement in color resolution from 117PPI to 150PPI. The color saturation was boosted by 30%, while the black and white resolution reached 300PPI. The CPU was upgraded from quad-core to octa-core 2.3GHz, resulting in faster refresh and processing speed. The memory capacity was also increased to an unprecedented 6+128GB, making it the top-of-the-line ePaper device currently available.

In terms of appearance, the inkNote Color+ boasts a stylish and elegant design, with an enhanced aesthetic appeal and finer craftsmanship. Overall, as the world's first 10.3-inch Kaleido 3 Color ePaper Smart eNote, the inkNote Color+ represents a comprehensive upgrade in hardware specifications, appearance, and color display.

【Galy: World's First 300PPI Color ePaper Smart eNote】 

For users accustomed to smartphones and tablets, the 4096 colors provided by the Kaleido color ePaper screen may still fall short of their expectations. Even with the color resolution raised to 150PPI, it may suffice for most users, but Bigme remains unsatisfied. Innovation breakthroughs and continuous challenges represent the third level of Bigme's spirit, achieving a harmonious unity of heaven and humanity. With the arrival of new breakthroughs in color screen technology, the new Gallery color screen technology can display 50,000 colors and achieve a color resolution of 300PPI, which is a groundbreaking advancement. Bigme once again became the "first one to try" brand. They launched the world's first Gallery 3 full-Color ePaper Smart eNote, Galy. It offers high-definition displays of both color and black-and-white at 300PPI, while successfully expanding the color range from the previous 4096 colors to 50,000 colors, catering to the higher-level demands of more "geek" color ePaper enthusiasts.
