E Ink Holdings announced that its patented e-paper display technology has been used to develop GVIDO, the world’s first dual screen e-paper music score device, by Terrada Music Score Co., Ltd. By utilizing E Ink’s flexible e-paper displays, Terrada is revolutionizing how musicians access, transport and read music scores through novel digital technology.
GVIDO represents the first product application using E Ink’s Carta e-paper technology in a dual 13.3” E Ink Mobius display. Its low-power consumption, high-readability from all angles and durability makes it an ideal display technology to bring digital music scores to life. E Ink Carta supports seamless page updates and faster transitions between music sheets, with a 50% increase in contrast over previous generations of e-paper.
“It can be challenging to delicately balance disruption with the preservation of legacy and tradition when introducing digital technology,” said Fujio Noguchi, CEO of Terrada Music Score Co., Ltd. “I cannot think of a better example of this than music. But, thanks to E Ink’s electronic paper display technology, we have been able to develop a music score device that maintains the look and feel of traditional paper while easing the way musicians access, store, transport and utilize music scores.”
GVIDO displays downloadable music scores in PDF, and also enables musicians to easily mark up their scores directly on the screen. GVIDO is scheduled for release in North America, Europe and Japan later in 2017.
“This is yet another example of how E Ink’s electronic ink technology continues to revolutionize the way we create, consume and share information,” said Johnson Lee, president at E Ink.
