Lecture 2: Digital Drawing (17)

This slide really surprised me because I always thought that these displays that are meant to look like paper were the same as all the usual LCD, LED, etc. with just specifically tuned brightness values to achieve the effect, but evidently that was not the case and they are their own kind of display entirely.

Relating to later in this lecture, I am reminded of how old CRT screens had a sort of built in anti-aliasing due to the sort of analog blurryness (I'm sure there's a better way to describe that). Here is a comparison of an image on a modern display vs a CRT that shows what I mean.

If you visit Best Buy in Emeryville, take a look at the little plastic tags that have the product name, price, and other info on them. They are little color e-ink displays.
