E-Paper Open Standards (EPOS)
Standards, reference implementation and test suite for e-paper
E-Paper Open Standards (EPOS) aims to deliver an openly licensed specification/draft standard for e-paper display controller interfaces, APIs, and waveform formats. It will deliver a comprehensive developer reference including schematics, firmware, and tutorials. In addition it will produce an interoperability test suite with open-source firmware, scripts, and a reference testing fixture to evaluate latency, ghosting, power consumption, and refresh behavior. To validate the specification, there will be three working reference implementations (6", 13.3", and 23.8" panels) with compliance reports. The goal is to set up a community-led standards group to maintain and evolve the specifications. The outcome will be an open foundation for e-paper, lowering entry barriers, enabling reproducibility, and supporting adoption by engineers, researchers, educators, industry, and open-source projects.
