CLEARink Displays proudly announced that it won the prestigious

(SID) annual Display Week tradeshow in San Jose on May 16th,
2019.
The Society for Information Display (SID) announced the winners
of its first ever People's Choice Awards at its
56th International Symposium, Seminar and Exhibition, known as
Display Week 2019, at the McEnery Convention Center in San
Jose, Calif. Thousands voted on new products that will be hitting
the shelves both in the US and internationally within the next few
years.
“On behalf of SID, I congratulate CLEARink Displays for winning
SID’s first ever People’s Choice Award, at the Display Week
International Symposium and Exhibition,” said Dr. Helge Seetzen,
President of SID. “This is one of the most prestigious awards in
our industry; the winners were chosen from over 200 exhibitors by
our attendees from all over the world."
CLEARink’s patent protected, revolutionary display technology
based on Electrophoretic Total Internal Reflection (eTIR) is low
power, sunlight readable, color and video capable. CLEARink's 9.7"
tablet-sized displays demonstrated at Display Week are aimed
at tablets and PC’s for education and other applications. The high
contrast panels with 4096 colors mimic the textbook experience. The
displays are video capable up to 30 frames per second and this
feature not only allows educational video content, it also enables
fast page turns, Internet browsing, ability to jot down notes
quickly without lag and can replicate the white board experience on
a tablet. The panels were driven at less than 5V, consuming very
little power. The 227 dpi resolution allows for drawing fine lines,
cursive writing in any language, shows maps and images with great
detail.
“It is an honor to win Display Week’s first People’s Choice
Award,” said Frank Christiaens, CEO of CLEARink Displays. “We thank
SID and the industry attendees that voted for us. Our team has
accomplished a lot in the past year; we have best in class
reflective displays, enviable investors and $300M in business from
global customers. Our vision is to build the most valuable display
company that solves market problems and has a deep impact on the
industry and society.”
