Modos Flow: E-Ink Display Breaks Speed Barrier at 60Hz

E-paper has mostly been synonymous with snails' pace tech, used for e-readers and smartwatches that didn't need speed. But Modos is changing the narrative with its latest product, the Modos Flow. This 13.3-inch E-Ink display doesn't just refresh, it sprints at 60Hz, unheard of in the e-paper world. And it's packed with a resolution of 3200 x 2400 pixels, bringing a crisp 300fpi to the table.

Here's the thing: Modos spent six years engineering custom microcontrollers to hit this refresh milestone. And they're not done. Right now, the Modos Flow is in its crowdfunding phase, with backer packages starting at $619. It's a bold move, but it opens up e-paper to new, faster applications. Imagine plugging this into powerful devices without being tethered to a wall socket, thanks to its USB-C port.

So why does this matter? In a world where digital ownership is gaining ground through NFTs and crypto, devices like Modos Flow could change how we interact with digital assets. While e-paper screens have been slow, this new speed could make them viable for more dynamic applications. Who wins? Anyone looking for more flexible, portable ways to display digital content. Who might lose out? Traditional e-reader makers that don't step up their tech.

The builders never left. Modos proves it with the Flow, and it's worth keeping an eye on how this tech gets integrated into the broader digital market. The meta shifted. Keep up.
