Paperlike Pro E Ink Monitor Mirroring iPhone and iPad Displays (Video)

August 18, 2017 by Nathan 5 Comments

Paperlike Pro iPhone

Dasung recently released a 2nd generation version of their 13.3-inch E Ink monitor, the Paperlike Pro.

Generally the Dasung Paperlike is thought of as a secondary monitor for a laptop or computer, but the 2nd gen model can also be used to mirror iPhone and iPad displays as well.

The Paperlike Pro is the first E Ink device to feature an HDMI port for connectivity.

It has a 13.3-inch E Ink Carta screen similar to the Sony DPT-RP1, but it uses a lower resolution 1600×1200 screen.

It doesn’t have a frontlight but it does have an extra USB port to plug in a lamp.

The cool thing about the Paperlike monitor is that it doesn’t need a battery or require a power supply; it draws enough power through the HDMI connection to run the E Ink display.

Dasung recently uploaded a video showing how fast the refresh rate is on the Paperlike’s screen, and it’s just as impressive using an iPad and iPhone. It’s surprising how responsive the E Ink screen is with scrolling and zooming—there’s not nearly as much ghosting or flashing as other E Ink devices.

The funny thing is they state that the Paperlike Pro is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux Ubuntu systems, but then they upload a video showing it working with iPads and iPhones so obviously it works with them too.

      They’re selling it for $899 and their reseller is charging $1399 so good luck with that… Meanwhile the Sony has a higher resolution screen and extra hardware features and sells for $699 so yeah the price seems really high.

    E-ink displays with HDMI ports. Make em smaller and we’re not too far from brewing our own e-readers.

    In fact, you could probably rig up a battery and one of those single board computers to this thing right now.

    Hard to compare to unrooted Sony because Sony has not indicated when/whether it will ever update its firmware. Sony has been out of stock on Amazon for a long time and won’t say when new units may be available. This month? Next month? Next quarter? Next year? Seems like a badly run division.
