"Last year, PocketBook rocked up at CES with a series of large e-paper displays to display art on the walls of your home. This year, the company has turned up with a far larger, A1-sized model called the Duna, which it says mimics the "texture, depth and tonal richness of printed paper." It's intended to act as an upmarket alternative to those big screen TVs which display art when they're not being used for their intended purpose."
"Unsurprisingly, such a fancy product also needs some fancy accessories, so it's recruited Italian design house Pininfarina to help. It claims the credit for the Duna's "precision-engineered aluminum frame" and its "elegantly stitched Alcantara." To celebrate the pairing, the InkPoster App will enable you to view original design sketches from the Pininfarina archives on your screens. At last year's CES, I saw the three smaller models in person and found them to be very promising."
"As before, each InkPoster can be hung for up to a year on a single charge, refreshing from its library of licensed artwork according to your whims. Plus, you can use it as a digital photo frame, if you want to display your selfies at art gallery or movie poster sizes. If you're interested in buying one of the new models, you'll have to wait until April, after the frames are exhibited at Milan Design Week in April."
PocketBook's Duna is an A1-sized e-paper display engineered to mimic the texture, depth and tonal richness of printed paper. The product targets buyers seeking an upmarket alternative to large-screen TVs that display art when idle. Italian design house Pininfarina produced a precision-engineered aluminum frame and elegantly stitched Alcantara for the Duna, with the InkPoster App offering access to original Pininfarina design sketches. The display reproduces vibrant colors at a distance and resembles a real canvas, though pixels remain visible up close. Each InkPoster lasts up to a year on a single charge, refreshes licensed artwork, and doubles as a large digital photo frame. Availability begins after Milan Design Week with an estimated price near $6,000.
