E Ink has announced Gallery 3, its next-generation colour e-paper display technology that will power future e-readers. This is a major update in the e-reader space. Here is everything you need to know.
What's new with E Ink's Gallery 3?
- Advanced Color E-Paper can show over 50,000 colours
- Three color modes: Fast (500ms); Standard (750-1000ms), Best (1500ms)
- Pixel density of 300ppi
The biggest feature of this new screen is Advanced Color E-Paper, which can show over 50,000 different colours through a four-particle ink system (cyan, magenta, yellow and white) that allows a full-colour gamut at each pixel. The new E Ink Gallery 3 panel can therefore offer three colour modes, including a "fast" one that can refresh the panel at 500 milliseconds. Black and white update times are also improved, with the Gallery 3 now switching between monochrome pages in 350 milliseconds. Resolution is also better, with the Gallery 3 offering a pixel density of 300ppi, up from 150ppi on the previous panel model.
Does Gallery 3 support styli?
- Â Ink Gallery 3 will also support pen input in black and white
- With an addition of several other colors and an update time of 30ms
- The screen can support both WACOM and EMR
Yes, the next-generation panel supports stylus input at up to 30 milliseconds for black and white, and some colours.Â
What else can E Ink's Gallery 3 do?
E Ink loaded the panel with its new ComfortGaze front light, which the company claims to offer a "blue-light safe viewing experience".Â
Finally, the panel can function at temperatures up to 122 degrees F.
Does Gallery 3 work on foldables?
Yes, the new e-paper panel is rollable and foldable. See E-Ink's own tweet below:

Which devices have a Gallery 3 panel?
- No devices have a Gallery 3 panel yet
- E Ink will demo Gallery 3 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center on 27 April 2022
