JerryRigEverything Teardown: Uncovering Kindle Colorsoft's E Ink Technology

Amazon's Revolutionary Kindle Colorsoft: A Deep Dive

Amazon has launched its first Kindle with a color screen, the Kindle Colorsoft. This innovative device has garnered significant attention, especially after a recent teardown by JerryRigEverything, who expertly dismantled the device to uncover its inner workings.

Understanding the E Ink Technology Behind Colorsoft

In JerryRigEverything’s teardown, it was revealed that the Kindle Colorsoft uses a unique method to produce colors on its E Ink screen. The screen operates by utilizing a combination of black and white pigments along with an additional color filter layer. This intricate setup allows users to experience vibrant colors while still benefiting from E Ink's signature readability.

The Importance of Protection

Interestingly, the teardown suggests that owners of the Kindle Colorsoft might want to invest in a protective case. The top layer of the screen is made of plastic, which can be susceptible to scratches and damage. Therefore, keeping the screen well-protected can prolong its lifespan and maintain its stunning display quality.
