Ultra-Low Power Consumption
An Electronic Ink Display achieves ultra-low power consumption in a thin, light form. These display modules only need energy to change the display content. Once the image is written, it will remain indefinitely without consuming any additional power. The E Ink display technology is thus energy efficient and drastically reduces power consumption
Optimized Form Factor
The Opus dimensions are very close to the ones of a paperback. As a paperback, the Opus can be easily arranged in a hand bag or a purse. The Opus is even much thinner (-70%) than a standard paperback and is thus easily transportable
Battery Life
The ePaper screen technology requires no power to maintain an image; as long as the Opus displays the same image, there is no power consumption. This technology drastically reduces power needs. Thus, the Opus offers an impressive battery lifetime of 8,000 screen refreshes with a full charged battery
