Seiko Epson today announced that it has recently developed and begun shipping samples of the S1C17F57, a new 16-bit microcontroller with a built-in driver optimized for small- and medium-sized segmented electronic paper displays (e-paper displays or EPDs) such as E Ink SURFTM. The company plans to begin volume shipments in March 2011, with monthly production of one million units. Epson at the same time announced it had started shipping its newly developed S1D14F50 series of energy-efficient driver ICs capable of wringing the maximum performance from segmented EPDs.
