Ingenious E-Ink Clocks

The Twelve24 ClockONE Clock Has a Unique E-Ink Time Display

— June 19, 2014 — Art & Design
The Twelve24 ClockONE is the first wall clock that features an E-Ink display. E-Ink is common in eBook readers but this is the first time it has been used in a clock.

The Twelve24 ClockONE has a beautiful, elegant design that consists of four over-sized digits similar to the ones seen in digital wristwatches. The clock itself is also pretty huge and is one meter wide and 35 cm tall. However it is only 4 mm thick, making it incredibly lightweight at only 3.3 pounds despite taking up a lot of wall-space. The clock is crafted out of milled aluminum with beveled ages, giving it a sleek look and feel.

The clock's E-Ink display requires very little power, and can supposedly run on a single CR2450 battery for a whole year. It can be set to display the time in either 12-hour or 24-hour modes.
Trend Themes
1. E-ink Displays in Electronics - Expanding the use of E-Ink displays beyond eBook readers to various electronic devices has the potential to improve battery life and reduce energy consumption.
2. Oversized Digital Displays - The demand for beautifully designed oversized digital displays, such as those in the Twelve24 ClockONE, will increase with the growth of smart home products.
3. Low-power Electronic Displays - The development of low-power electronic displays, like E-Ink displays, will be necessary for the continued growth of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Consumer electronics manufacturers can benefit from incorporating E-Ink displays, such as those in the Twelve24 ClockONE, to improve battery life and energy efficiency.
2. Smart Home Technology - Smart home technology companies can incorporate oversized digital displays, like the one in the Twelve24 ClockONE, to provide sleek and functional home decor solutions.
3. Internet of Things (iot) - IoT device manufacturers can adopt low-power electronic displays, like E-Ink displays, to improve battery life and prolong device use without requiring frequent charging.
