The reality version of "Thunderbolt Ranger" is really coming BMW released e-ink technology

At CES 2022, BMW unveiled a new technology, namely electronic ink (E-ink) technology, the most powerful thing about this technology is that it can achieve one-click color change of the body.

In fact, when it comes to the one-click color change of the body, it reminds me of the "Thunderbolt Ranger" when I was a child, I believe that the people who have seen it are all in their 30s, and the car in the movie - Kitt has left a deep impression on many people, omnipotent, all kinds of disguises are simply cool. Now BMW has really achieved this, although it is not so exaggerated, but the one-click color change is second to none in the industry.

It is understood that the "electronic ink" contains millions of transparent microcapsules, each capsule contains a negatively charged white pigment and a positively charged black pigment, by controlling the electrical level of the capsule, thus achieving a change in the color of the body performance. It is worth praising, BMW according to the pattern and the change of the surface curvature of the car to make different "electronic ink", may sound relatively simple, but behind this technology is the hard sweat of most people, according to the person in charge of BMW, they use the laser cutting ink technology, experimented many times on ordinary paper, and finally succeeded.

In addition, "electronic ink" not only changes the color of the body, but also helps to reduce energy consumption, providing a new direction for exploration and thinking for sustainable development. It is worth mentioning that the changeable body color is conducive to improving the comfort of the car and reducing the energy required for the electrical system. For example, the white surface can reflect more sunlight than black, if the body color is changed to a light color, the impact of strong external sunlight and high temperature on the interior of the vehicle can be reduced accordingly, and the interior such as the center console and dashboard can be prevented from overheating.
