In brief: Dasung, the company behind many popular and cutting-edge e-ink products, has just launched a new portable display called the Paperlike 103. What's interesting about this 10.3-inch screen is that despite using e-ink technology, it offers a 60Hz refresh rate. While e-ink monitors offer some benefits over the usual LCD models, they tend to come with low refresh rates of anything between 10Hz and 40Hz. Dasung's Paperlike 103 offers a more typical 60Hz refresh rate. While that's pretty much unheard of in today's world of gaming monitors that are reaching up to 750Hz, it's still a big improvement over the usual slow e-ink screens.As for its other specs, the Paperlike 103 features a 1,872 x 1,404 resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio. There's also a dual-tone front light with adjustable warm, cool, and mixed light settings, designed to reduce eye strain when staring at the screen for hours on end.The Paperlike 103 also comes with Auto-Clear technology for reducing ghosting, capacitive touch support for screen navigation, and an ultra-thin aluminum alloy CNC body. There are several physical buttons, too, for altering the likes of the brightness and turning the screen on and off.Connectivity is via Type-C, allowing users to connect to computers, phones, and other devices. There's support for Windows and Linux, along with different screen modes such as mirroring and extending. Sina reports that the display costs 1,999 yuan, which is $273.In addition to the paper-like display and no blue light emission that make them great for reading, e-ink monitors only use power during screen updates, meaning they consume little power. They're also glare-free and offer excellent outdoor visibility.While we now have several color e-ink monitors, these colors are still lacking in their accuracy compared to traditional monitors. There are also the lower resolutions and lack of backlighting, which can make them hard to read in dim environments.Pushing e-ink monitors' refresh rates to 60Hz could encourage more adoption. The Dasung Paperlike 103 isn't the first to boast this spec: the Modos Paper Monitor from last year also reaches 60Hz. // Related StoriesDasung launched what it called the world's first color e-ink monitor in 2023 for $1,650.
