Individually cutting out all the flashing frames must have been no joke in the edit. Immense visuals 🤯

Posy could literally make paint drying interesting.

It sucks how frequently you hear about cool technologies being held back by a single company holding the patents for it

E-Paper tech is really cool. There's something magical to me about the way they keep their image. It's like having a little printed image that can mysteriously transmute when connected to power.

You might try putting water or another fluid on it to see if it neutralizes the antiglare texture.

This e-paper stuff always fascinated me since the first day I saw an e-book tablet as a kid, while it's really niche as a product, I've always hoped it as a cool futuristic replacement for certain things in the future, like paintings, books in libaries etc. Doubt it'll actually become anything big until some sort of breakthrough new invention happens, or until patents are made public.

Absolutely blown away by the honeycomb display, immensely beautiful

This is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever viewed in my life. Your work is second to none Posy. ❤

E ink Displays are very fascinating, and seeing them in micro vision is something else. 🤓❤

I have an e-ink device that I use for note taking in class called the Supernote! Because it doesn’t have a backlight and it only uses energy when changing colors the battery lasts for over a week. The writing feel is also much better than writing on a glass screen

You get the best shots. I didn't want to look away for a second. I mean, I said you should sell prints, and I still think you should, but the magic is in the moving image! These videos ARE the artworks and this channel is your gallery!

WOW. I had a pretty rudimentary understanding of E-Ink displays before. These extremely close up shots were AMAZING and actually made me understand how this stuff works! Especially the color e-ink stuff was amazing and something I hadn't seen before!

When a super macro shot of a kindle makes you want to cry, you know the video's good

Now I am studying to be an editing director and motion designer. I found your wonderful channel a long time ago. I was in a creative crisis because of boring jobs... But now I'm trying to achieve the same level of cleanliness and accuracy in video editing as you have. You inspire me incredibly much! Thank you for your videos!

I recently finished my apprenticeship as an electronics technician, and the final project I was assigned was to design driver circuitry for a very simple e-ink bargraph display (6 segments: t dots + background). They’re simultaneously very simple to drive, yet also very hard to drive _well_ (note in the macro of the thermometer refresh how it has to do multiple write/clear cycles and that during them, the segment sizes grow, and that the segments that are “off” have a gray outline).

E ink has always been the closest to magic of any display tech! I love paper books so it's the closest thing. Such an analog feel.

Posy's videos always inspire me to keep studying the nature of the small things. Thanks posy

Ik heb echt immens respect voor je werk man.

Its a blessed day when Posy uploads literally anything

I worked on the original Amazon Kindle, and one time I had left a prototype device in the window sill for a few days and then found that the screen had turned completely dark, although it cleared up the next time I rebooted it and refreshed the screen. My theory about what happened there was that the photovoltaic effect caused the screen charge to very slowly change, causing the black ink balls to eventually drift to the surface.

2:31 This is also how my child drawing tablet worked that I had with me during car rides. I could draw on that and then when I wanted to make the canvas clean again, I would move a big thing over the screen and the draw again. I eventually figured out that I was pulling some magnetic power or something to the top of the screen. Was a really cool children toy tbh.

Seriously you're a true artist. Thank you for the amount of time you have spent on videomaking, but also on music, creative videos, and script writing (I see how concise yet un-rushed you are). This video was a symphony of your talents and it was beautiful.

NEW POSY VIDEO WOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOVE YOUR STUFF MAN

I've known how e-paper works for a long time but seeing it like this is absolutely magical. Thank you for your hard work and fantastic video, Posy!

Each of your videos is like watching a really good short film. It's clear these take lots and lots of effort to make, and it's absolutely worth it, as each and every one has beem amazing so far, including this one. Keep up the amazing work!

For a while I had a pebble time smartwatch with an e-ink color display. Easily my most favorite watch I've ever owned.

Your auper macro shots are so incredible to look at. Made even moreso when the subject's typical mundanity is taken into account. Even the most simple things can actually be quite amazing.

posy is just casually like "yeah i made this video, and composed the music, and made these comics"

I was gonna say "dude, where do you get this music from? it seems like the perfect videoclip" and it's yours! 🤪 Thanks for all of this content! 💛

The topic was already super interesting, and then add your superb cinematography on top and we have another awesome video!

its always awesome to know how clever people can use simple ideas to make awesome products, great video as always

Those comics just cement to me that you really are the most talented YoutTuber on the platform

The music makes me feel nostalgic even though I never heard it. Love it!!

thank you for staying curious. you never disappoint whenever you post a new video.

Hearing Vanilla Coffee at the start put such a big smile on my face. Probably my favorite song of yours.

What kind of microscope did you use to go supermicro? It’s very dope!

Your channel is basically an obsession generator! I'm addicted to all things with a VFD since that video!

The emoticon faces on the clock/thermometer...

I love your videos, thank you so much! Helps me think way outside of the box, I always feel like there are so many layers of context and abstraction I can find in all of them with every re-watch.

Your production quality is soo good! Love the visuals, fun music you make and your narration, always watch all the way through when you post something new. I'm poor as f and live in dangerous place so I can't really afford to pay you, but I hope what you have from patreon or selling music is enough for you and you don't lose curiosity in interesting cool (or hot?) things to share your fascination about with us.

Posy: "...which makes it very hard to make decent supermicro shots." Also Posy: shows minutes of amazing supermicro shots.

As a kid in the '90s, my family had a toy that was like this but with a magnetic powder in the cells, and you would draw on it using a little magnetic pencil or some other circular magnets that came along with it. There was a big magnetic bar that slid behind it all to erase your scene, pulling the magnetic dust to the back layer where you couldn't see it any more. I think it was called a "magnadoodle" or something like that.

My epileptic sister loved the video so much that shes rolling on the ground with joy.

Amazement has never hit weirder than with tripophobia. What a rollercoaster of a ride

While your videos are stunningly shot, wonderfully narrated and thoughtfully directed, possibly my favourite thing about them is how every single aspect of them are *yours*. The music is yours, the impeccably high quality footage is yours, the subjects of the video are heirlooms of yours (like the drawings and machines from other vids) and ultimately the entire concept is you just rattling off things you discover and find interesting about the subject rather than reading from a specs page (as far as I can tell at least). Thank you for sharing your creative mind with us. Your films are always a delight.

Saw you post Microgalaxies on Bandcamp before this uploaded, had me excited for what you were up to this time. Wasn't expecting e-Paper though! Awesome video 💚

Posy Posy Posy.. Man you do it time again and again! Literal chills when the music and visuals come together.

I absolutely love those screen & display videos

Dude even does his own music. (Posy) Song at 0:18 Vanilla Coffee Album : LCD ( of course )

Really great vid, love your soundtracks and the macro shots were dazzling!

They get the ink bubbles the same way they get the smell in scratch and sniff stickers. It's called microencapsulation.

i hope e-paper someday becomes full color and bright, so i can read comics and manga on something that feels like a single piece of paper

Wonderful video Posy, always a joy to watch them ^^ Those e-paper price tags are quite interesting as well. A shop I sometimes work for recently had the issue that one of the antenna units for the wireless price updates didn't work. After I fixed the issue I could watch as blocks of those tags on a large shelf started to flash for updating the displayed data.

Your videos really have a unique way of rousing my curiosity, and bring out a young delight and fascination that is becoming harder and harder to grasp. Thank you, and don't ever stop doing what you do!

this is some incredibly mesmerizing shots! thank you so much for sharing this with us, it's truly a treat for the eyes.

My dad worked on the Nook with e paper he helped design some new e-paper tech and he even had a ball explaing how e-paper works

This type of e-paper display (made by E Ink) is called electrophoretic. It moves small particles in a liquid. Which means the technology is quite slow. There were many other e-paper display technologies years ago, but they got abandoned after being outcompeted by E Ink. Two I remember were called Liquavista (colored oil droplets deformed with electricity) and Mirasol (tiny mechanical switches which reflect light and create interference). These were quite fast, but the biggest problem remained creating bright colors without subpixels.

Love your videos! Since I discovered you from pointer video, I've been following. Thank you for your work!

This channel is my absolute favorite thing on UKposts.

How is this channel not more popular?

I love how much of the video parts are your own: from music to cartoons. Very impressive

That color e-paper frame looks so beautiful and sleek!! 😍😍 I would love to get one of them and display my own quotes as well! 😄 Very inspiring concept, amazing visuals, very well explained, your videos are simply amazing that really inspires me to pay attention to such a small, but beautiful details! 🔥🔥 Keep making inspiring and quirky videos like these! ❤

That’s awesome! Always wondered how these things work :) You manage to make any topic entertaining and enjoyable to watch!

Posy! I absolutely love your videos, please dont ever stop being you! I always get excited when you upload, your brand of content is so pure and unique

Only when you release a new video I wait until the evening to sit down with a cup of tea. Amazing images, relaxing voice and educational all at the same time. It shows that you make videos on topics you yourself are curios about. Looking forward for the next one whenever it will be! ☕

god i love posy's music, huge portal 2 vibes

I love this channel so much, the videos are masterpieces of writing, editing and photography

The display videos you make always inspire me to code different algorithms for displaying images!!!

Your videos made my day every time I watch them. Thanks for taking the time and effort making them.

Your videos are always inspiring. Loved this one!

I love how you’ve put this together. Thank you.

Amazing video as always! I'm really impressed by the super macro shots. Would love to know more about the equipment you use for your videos!

This are some crazy captures! Amazing work :)

The one with the damaged electrode display at the beginning is a black Sony PRS-350 e-Reader.

I hope to see you soon too Posy! Every time you post a new video is a time of joy! Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us!

very nice video, im always happy when posy uploads, the videos are always made perfectly!

Exemplary camera work, editing, music, and commentary. Really enjoyed this one! Thank you!

E-paper is my favorite display technology since it can bee seen in bright light, There was even a dress using it to change color. I wonder if some water or oil on the screen might help fill in the roughness of the screen diffuser and might make macro shots easier.

what an incredible channel!! hope to see you at 10 mil!!!!

Wonderful video, always glad to see a Posy upload

You make some of the most engaging and aesthetically pleasing videos around & on all kinds of subjects too - I bet you could even make paint drying look & sound super interesting

Imagine a large painting in the living room that changes the art every day

I don’t know if it’s the vid schedule or its quality…or maybe both…but Posy and Vsause are giving me the same vibe…weird but interesting, unwanted but highly educative info…these quirks kinda match in both of these channles. And I lovve it😂

I knew a new main-channel video had to come out soon when I saw the bandcamp notification, and holy hell did you not disappoint!

I love your videos. Cool music, your narrating, the pictures... It's incredible

I use “Sounds From the Library” every night on repeat to help me sleep. It’s been great help for a year now.

Your macro shots are mind blowing!!

This video is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I have seen or heard this year, thank you.

1:43 was synced so well

Your videos are absolutely amazing in so many regards. From visuals, quality, voice over... everything. This channel is a gem!

This was a great episode. Mesmerising to watch those changes up close.

Amazing

you have to be my favorite channel find of the past like 3 years, keep it up Posy!

Wow so cool! Ive been looking for something like this that captures eink tech in action! Thanks for doing such a beautiful job! 😍

It's incredible how simillar the colour-pixel mask display is to how most colour CRT monitors work! Both technologies use a simple brightness signal, aligned with coloured masks, to give the effect of coloured display, while using a black and white projection method. Truly remarkable!

Incredible footage. Well done!

Another beautiful video! Your videos spark a feeling of wonder in me few things succeed to. I'm loving your music, too!

Another beautiful video as always, keep up the good work!

the macro shots remind me of being a kid and staring endlessly at those Etch-a-Sketch Doodle boards and seeing the little shapes turn to black

This music with the voiceover and pulsing abstract images... It's so ominous and unsettling! It's like some conceptual indie horror film.
