The Cream DaVinci Guitar: A Collaboration Powered by E Ink Prism

Developed through a collaboration between Cream Guitars and E Ink, the Cream DaVinci is the world's first color-changing guitar enabled by E Ink Prism.

Unlike traditional guitar finishes, the DaVinci allows musicians to personalize the appearance of their instrument using a Bluetooth-connected mobile app. Artists can instantly switch between different colors and patterns, giving every performance a unique visual identity.

At the heart of the guitar is E Ink Prism, a non-emissive display technology that consumes power only when changing its appearance. Once updated, the selected design remains visible without continuous power, making it an energy-efficient solution for dynamic surfaces while preserving the premium craftsmanship and playability expected from a professional instrument.

The collaboration highlights how E Ink's material innovation can be seamlessly integrated into products beyond traditional displays, unlocking entirely new possibilities for product design.

 

Inspiring the Future of Creative Expression

The DaVinci is more than a new guitar, it's a glimpse into how dynamic materials can transform the relationship between design and creativity.

As artists continue looking for new ways to express themselves, technologies like E Ink Prism open the door to products that adapt, evolve, and become part of the performance itself. Whether it's matching the mood of a song, complementing stage production, or reinforcing an artist's unique identity, dynamic surfaces give creators a new medium for storytelling.

The appearance of the Cream DaVinci guitar during a Bon Jovi concert is just one example of how E Ink technology is moving from concept to reality, proving that the future of design isn't static, it's dynamic.
