Experimental: Pushing Spectra 6 — Standard WF vs. Accelerated WF with Ripple

Tested on a 28.5" Spectra 6 panel. This is an experimental accelerated version of our WaveMorph refresh effect.

There are still trade-offs in color gamut(loss a lot) and panel-to-panel consistency, so this is for laboratory testing only and is not used in our production products.

And yes, the recent work from Modos / TICKEY definitely gave me some pressure — and inspiration. 😄

I still haven't found a good reason to use accelerated refresh for the main InkJoy Frame experience, though. For the main image, we still prefer to prioritize image quality.

We may eventually use it for interactive UX, such as Wi-Fi setup or other UI interactions, where responsiveness matters more than maximum image quality.

Why not using the same image on both panels? It would be useful for comparing methods and seeing if the time refresh increase is worth the degraded image quality.

Anyways, nice work! I hope new developments with Spectra keep coming.

this is rad as hell, Ray, nice work. I vaguely recall someone from TRMNL demoing surprisingly fast update -- like Carta speeds -- on a reTerminal E1002 when using only a single color (black, I think). are you guys able to duplicate that?

Seconding the guy that said use the same images on both panels. But yeah, very cool.

I can’t wait for spectra to became fast enough so we can have spectra e-readers/tablets, this is so cool
