Seiko Invented A New Way To Display The Time

Online, December 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Seiko Watch Corp. society. has developed a revolutionary new display system, which is incorporated in the first watch in the world active matrix EPD. Three models of the watch will be offered. Each has detailed graphics and a high-resolution screen as clean as a television screen art. With this screen resolution of 300 dots per inch which provides a viewing angle of 180 degrees, the new show "is the future of digital time," said a statement from the company.

EPD is an abbreviation for "Electrophoretic display (electrophoretic display), and is the method of using electronic ink - owned by Seiko - to display the watch. The electronic ink is mainly composed of millions of microcapsules, each measuring the diameter of a hair. Each microcapsule contains negatively charged white particles and positively charged black particles suspended in a clear liquid. When a negative electric field is applied, the white particles move to the top of the microcapsule, and then become visible to the user: the surface of the screen appears blank. By reversing the process, we can make the black particles appear at the top of the capsule. In addition to this revolutionary display, the watch syncs with atomic clocks permanently global through radio waves, and is of unprecedented accuracy.

Other watch manufacturers have incorporated this Japanese radio technology at their watches such as Citizen and Casio. While the Chinese market is booming, Citizen has built a broadcast antenna 250 meters in Henan Province, which began broadcasting in June 2007.

The new Seiko watch is powered by a solar battery that recharges by itself and can last up to nine months without exposure to light.
