Bigme introduces a color e-ink monitor that could reportedly hit 60 FPS — 25.3-inch display will come with a 3200 x 1800 resolution and support for 4096 colors

Bigme has introduced its first 25.3-inch color e-ink monitor, the Bigme B251 Pro, which claims a refresh rate of up to 60 FPS — a significant leap in the e-ink display space. While previous color e-in... Read original →

The Bigme B251 Pro’s claimed 60 FPS refresh rate shatters the performance ceiling of color e-ink displays, directly pressuring upstream suppliers to upgrade driver ICs and backplane TFT technologies—particularly benefiting oxide semiconductor (e.g., IGZO) panel makers. Compliance risks loom if the device relies on U.S.-origin FPGA or HDMI/DP interface chips, potentially triggering export controls that inflate BOM costs and force supply chain diversification toward Taiwan, China or Northeast Asia. Competitors like Dasung and Boox will likely accelerate high-refresh color models, possibly bundling AI-powered note-taking software to erect ecosystem moats. Over the next 18 months, such ultra-low-power monitors may penetrate remote work and education terminals, yet limited color depth and latency will prevent mainstream PC displacement. Their strategic value lies in carving out a 'eye-friendly productivity' niche and accelerating E-Ink Holdings’ commercialization of Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP).
