Electronic Paper - See What Happens

Funny to see you here 😁

Posy could literally make paint drying interesting.

[@varganyamuvek]

He could literally make water waving interesting

[@dannymac6368]

10/10 idea, would watch paint dry for hours if Posy is involved.

[@bondthefifth]

I would honestly expect him to make paint drying video someday

[@brorianszk]

@@varganyamuvek He already made boiling water interesting so yes.

[@akatosh62]

Sixty Symbols already made a video about it and it's really interesting

[@thecryingsoul]

It sucks how frequently you hear about cool technologies being held back by a single company holding the patents for it

[@AlphaetusPrime]

That's why patents expire. In this case, since they last 20 years and the technology first reached maturity and became commercially viable in 2004, we're likely to see the end of E-ink's monopoly soon.

[@BluRay_4]

Prysm Systems have a patent for laser phosphor displays which are insanely cool but it seems like theyll hold on that patent forever and never release the displays to the consumer market.... thats ofc until the patent expires... but thats a long time from now...

[@maxwell_edison]

Lol, we wish, @@AlphaetusPrime - There are many loopholes companies use to re-patent things. Isn't that why Insulin is so expensive? They keep changing it by a few molecules.

[@t-o-m-m]

​@@AlphaetusPrimeI think it will be better but not perfect, I imagine the patents that are expiring are not for the more advanced tech. Though I suppose that now companies can advance on the tech in their own way and will actually be able to sell displays without infringing on the patents for the 'basic'/fundamental tech.

[@_BangDroid_]

What's point of holding on to patents without making money, losing all your R&D investment only to let the patent expire?

[@pixstatic200]

E-Paper tech is really cool. There's something magical to me about the way they keep their image. It's like having a little printed image that can mysteriously transmute when connected to power.

[@SomeRandomPiggo]

I keep recognizing you across YT because the cat in your profile pic looks exactly like mine lol

[@ICanDoThatToo2]

You might try putting water or another fluid on it to see if it neutralizes the antiglare texture.

[@arfyness]

oooh yes! like how frosted glass appears clear with vegetable oil on it!

[@teresashinkansen9402]

Exactly this, Ive done this and works pretty well, makes such rough but transparent surfaces become clear. Put a cover slide and then fill in between with glycerin or immersion oil.

[@peterwhitey4992]

That's a good idea.

[@PosyMusic]

I did now! Thanks for the suggestion (also to others in other comments). Lazy video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYqUn5iIZ857hqc

[@retroprizm3075]

Now I am studying to be an editing director and motion designer. I found your wonderful channel a long time ago. I was in a creative crisis because of boring jobs... But now I'm trying to achieve the same level of cleanliness and accuracy in video editing as you have. You inspire me incredibly much! Thank you for your videos!

[@As4vo]

Who cares 😂

[@JayFolipurba]

You get the best shots. I didn't want to look away for a second. I mean, I said you should sell prints, and I still think you should, but the magic is in the moving image! These videos ARE the artworks and this channel is your gallery!

[@gabrieldolce889]

I have an e-ink device that I use for note taking in class called the Supernote! Because it doesn’t have a backlight and it only uses energy when changing colors the battery lasts for over a week. The writing feel is also much better than writing on a glass screen

[@im1fadedRob]

WOW. I had a pretty rudimentary understanding of E-Ink displays before. These extremely close up shots were AMAZING and actually made me understand how this stuff works! Especially the color e-ink stuff was amazing and something I hadn't seen before!

[@arfyness]

this work really is SUPERB videography! 😮❤

[@t-o-m-m]

Yeah I thought there were balls of each colour that moved to the top/bottom so the close up of the b&w clock display where you can see that the balls don't move and its just the ink inside them was fascinating

[@KomradZX1989]

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever viewed in my life. Your work is second to none Posy. ❤

[@philosophyman]

Seriously you're a true artist. Thank you for the amount of time you have spent on videomaking, but also on music, creative videos, and script writing (I see how concise yet un-rushed you are). This video was a symphony of your talents and it was beautiful.

[@Habijob]

2:31 This is also how my child drawing tablet worked that I had with me during car rides. I could draw on that and then when I wanted to make the canvas clean again, I would move a big thing over the screen and the draw again. I eventually figured out that I was pulling some magnetic power or something to the top of the screen. Was a really cool children toy tbh.

[@whaliin]

Absolutely blown away by the honeycomb display, immensely beautiful

[@keatonwastaken]

This e-paper stuff always fascinated me since the first day I saw an e-book tablet as a kid, while it's really niche as a product, I've always hoped it as a cool futuristic replacement for certain things in the future, like paintings, books in libaries etc. Doubt it'll actually become anything big until some sort of breakthrough new invention happens, or until patents are made public.

[@fouzr]

There are devices like the Kindle Scribe these days that let you write notes at a really good latency of sub 10ms if I recall correctly. Still a niche, but the tech is definitely improving, albeit, very slowly

[@HappyJackington]

Like @fouzr said, I have a ReMarkable and it has made a huge difference in my life. I am a habitual note taker and journal-er, and it fills a niche that a tablet never did for me. The price point is terrible and I honestly can't wait for the patents to run out so that e-paper is made public. The thing that sold me on my ReMarkable was the fact that it lasts for a week on a single charge. E-paper is such an efficient display technology. As long as you do not need a high refresh rate, it's perfect.

[@fouzr]

@@HappyJackington yup, the reMarkable is an excellent example. I own one myself, and love using it on the daily. And as a bonus, it’s a fairly open embedded Linux machine, which lets you tinker with it quite a bit Tho I think even after the patents have expired, the cost of manufacturing it will still be quite higher than any LCD panel. The yields of those panels aren’t great afaik

[@yeetusvanitas9800]

One interesting application is that it’s being adapted for luxury cars to create color changing liveries! It’s still in the prototype stage but I think it has real potential.

[@MalakaiDerg]

@@yeetusvanitas9800 I mean that's cool and all but helps nobody.

[@JKStudios101]

E ink Displays are very fascinating, and seeing them in micro vision is something else. 🤓❤

[@Iisakki3000]

Each of your videos is like watching a really good short film. It's clear these take lots and lots of effort to make, and it's absolutely worth it, as each and every one has beem amazing so far, including this one. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Rafael-ud2ul]

Posy's videos always inspire me to keep studying the nature of the small things. Thanks posy

[@fluffycritter]

I worked on the original Amazon Kindle, and one time I had left a prototype device in the window sill for a few days and then found that the screen had turned completely dark, although it cleared up the next time I rebooted it and refreshed the screen. My theory about what happened there was that the photovoltaic effect caused the screen charge to very slowly change, causing the black ink balls to eventually drift to the surface.

[@kaitlyn__L]

NEW POSY VIDEO WOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVE YOUR STUFF MAN

[@DrBagPhD]

I've known how e-paper works for a long time but seeing it like this is absolutely magical. Thank you for your hard work and fantastic video, Posy!

[@EzraAlexander]

When a super macro shot of a kindle makes you want to cry, you know the video's good

[@austin.paquette]

While your videos are stunningly shot, wonderfully narrated and thoughtfully directed, possibly my favourite thing about them is how every single aspect of them are *yours*. The music is yours, the impeccably high quality footage is yours, the subjects of the video are heirlooms of yours (like the drawings and machines from other vids) and ultimately the entire concept is you just rattling off things you discover and find interesting about the subject rather than reading from a specs page (as far as I can tell at least). Thank you for sharing your creative mind with us. Your films are always a delight.

[@PosyMusic]

Thank you! :-)

[@ali99_82]

​@@PosyMusic how do you make your voiceover sound so good? Any plugin or editing technique?

[@frenchbassguy]

E ink has always been the closest to magic of any display tech! I love paper books so it's the closest thing. Such an analog feel.

[@lyingpancake95]

Your auper macro shots are so incredible to look at. Made even moreso when the subject's typical mundanity is taken into account. Even the most simple things can actually be quite amazing.

[@ste-fa-no]

I was gonna say "dude, where do you get this music from? it seems like the perfect videoclip" and it's yours! 🤪 Thanks for all of this content! 💛

[@SlavaBohu]

Your production quality is soo good! Love the visuals, fun music you make and your narration, always watch all the way through when you post something new. I'm poor as f and live in dangerous place so I can't really afford to pay you, but I hope what you have from patreon or selling music is enough for you and you don't lose curiosity in interesting cool (or hot?) things to share your fascination about with us.

[@ivan-chesnokov]

The emoticon faces on the clock/thermometer...

[@williampamblanco]

The topic was already super interesting, and then add your superb cinematography on top and we have another awesome video!

[@jakubkalka8360]

It's incredible how simillar the colour-pixel mask display is to how most colour CRT monitors work! Both technologies use a simple brightness signal, aligned with coloured masks, to give the effect of coloured display, while using a black and white projection method. Truly remarkable!

[@tombuster]

Your channel is basically an obsession generator! I'm addicted to all things with a VFD since that video!

[@mus3equal]

I love your videos, thank you so much! Helps me think way outside of the box, I always feel like there are so many layers of context and abstraction I can find in all of them with every re-watch.

[@n_9_70]

its always awesome to know how clever people can use simple ideas to make awesome products, great video as always

[@BelgianCat]

Posy Posy Posy.. Man you do it time again and again! Literal chills when the music and visuals come together.

[@Seed]

That’s awesome! Always wondered how these things work :) You manage to make any topic entertaining and enjoyable to watch!

[@taxevasionwitt]

Saw you post Microgalaxies on Bandcamp before this uploaded, had me excited for what you were up to this time. Wasn't expecting e-Paper though! Awesome video 💚

[@Lelle_Berg]

Only when you release a new video I wait until the evening to sit down with a cup of tea. Amazing images, relaxing voice and educational all at the same time. It shows that you make videos on topics you yourself are curios about. Looking forward for the next one whenever it will be! ☕

[@estebanod]

I absolutely love those screen & display videos

[@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal]

The one with the damaged electrode display at the beginning is a black Sony PRS-350 e-Reader.

[@JesseBrohinsky]

For a while I had a pebble time smartwatch with an e-ink color display. Easily my most favorite watch I've ever owned.

[@Franco__-]

Imagine a large painting in the living room that changes the art every day

[@fabivilla2442]

The display videos you make always inspire me to code different algorithms for displaying images!!!

[@spark198rus]

I love how much of the video parts are your own: from music to cartoons. Very impressive

[@Akieta]

Your videos are absolutely amazing in so many regards. From visuals, quality, voice over... everything. This channel is a gem!

[@PillowHyena]

The music makes me feel nostalgic even though I never heard it. Love it!!

[@andywira]

this is some incredibly mesmerizing shots! thank you so much for sharing this with us, it's truly a treat for the eyes.

[@mangoblaze]

You make some of the most engaging and aesthetically pleasing videos around & on all kinds of subjects too - I bet you could even make paint drying look & sound super interesting

[@spingebill8551]

I like how Xerox invented both this, the first Graphical User Interface based desktop PC, the first WIMP GUI, and basically said “eh let’s not even try to pursue this game changing innovations as much as we can”.

[@threeuniquefingers]

I don’t know if it’s the vid schedule or its quality…or maybe both…but Posy and Vsause are giving me the same vibe…weird but interesting, unwanted but highly educative info…these quirks kinda match in both of these channles. And I lovve it😂

[@DantevanGemert]

I knew a new main-channel video had to come out soon when I saw the bandcamp notification, and holy hell did you not disappoint!

[@BenjaminMiles]

Exemplary camera work, editing, music, and commentary. Really enjoyed this one! Thank you!

[@lavenderinthedark]

what an incredible channel!! hope to see you at 10 mil!!!!

[@barancan_snmz]

I think when I feel bad and need somethink to refresh my mind, I find myself coming to this video for the 12th time or so. It is pure pleasure and I humbly admire and respect.

[@HansLemurson]

As a kid in the '90s, my family had a toy that was like this but with a magnetic powder in the cells, and you would draw on it using a little magnetic pencil or some other circular magnets that came along with it. There was a big magnetic bar that slid behind it all to erase your scene, pulling the magnetic dust to the back layer where you couldn't see it any more. I think it was called a "magnadoodle" or something like that.

[@tookitogo]

I recently finished my apprenticeship as an electronics technician, and the final project I was assigned was to design driver circuitry for a very simple e-ink bargraph display (6 segments: t dots + background). They’re simultaneously very simple to drive, yet also very hard to drive _well_ (note in the macro of the thermometer refresh how it has to do multiple write/clear cycles and that during them, the segment sizes grow, and that the segments that are “off” have a gray outline).

[@immaedb]

I have the same thermometer. It gets worse over time. After 6 months the "burn in" is very noticeable. Still much more readable than LCDs though.

[@umbrellaaquarium6874]

I hope to see you soon too Posy! Every time you post a new video is a time of joy! Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us!

[@Splarkszter]

Just the unique sound and visual design makes this a treat to watch. Love it!!!

[@SpaceTheAge]

E-paper is my favorite display technology since it can bee seen in bright light, There was even a dress using it to change color. I wonder if some water or oil on the screen might help fill in the roughness of the screen diffuser and might make macro shots easier.

[@alexx3617]

That color e-paper frame looks so beautiful and sleek!! 😍😍 I would love to get one of them and display my own quotes as well! 😄 Very inspiring concept, amazing visuals, very well explained, your videos are simply amazing that really inspires me to pay attention to such a small, but beautiful details! 🔥🔥 Keep making inspiring and quirky videos like these! ❤

[@miyaguitube]

thank you for staying curious. you never disappoint whenever you post a new video.

[@aileenmorgan8276]

[@emilydaemon]

Yet another awesome video :) If you ever make a sequel to this, consider taking a look at e-ink monitors intended for use with computers.

[@elone3997]

Really cool seeing the macro shots..I was recently looking at all the various screens you can get for Raspberry Pi and saw a load of e-ink variants, both black and white and colour. I thought, wow, these could be used everywhere like airports and supermarkets etc etc. Looks like I'm kinda way late to the party as they ARE everywhere.. Love your videos and presenting style. 👍☺️

[@brycedoss6294]

Love the video! Love the music too. Trying to find the song used in the first half of the video but can't find it on bandcamp or spotify.

I love that whenever Posy posts a video, not only will I get some gorgeous imagery, I also get to go listen to some new fantastic electronic music immediately afterwards.

[@gregormum]

Your channel is awesome. Not only your content, but also the self irony and the quality using 0% stock footage in your videos… I want more of them, but I can only imagine how many hours you need to put in one single video. Maybe you can make a video about „how posy delivers posy content“… I would like to see it! Keep doing your thing, you’re so underrated… thanks ❤️

[@-Burb]

Wow, super cool! It was crazy to hear that Xerox Parc created some form of this tech first, it seems like if you look back at any piece of modern tech they already invented it long ago haha.
