E-Paper technology provides a low-cost, flexible display with wide viewing angles and good sunlight readability. However, its standout feature is that it retains the image on the screen without using power!
Clive Dickinson, Business Manager for displays at GTK, stated, “E-Paper technology has been around longer than most people think. The first iteration of this technology was created in the 1970s but it’s only recently that people have been aware of it, as it started being used in consumer products such as e-readers, smartwatches, retail price labels and digital signage.
“E-Paper technology is perfect in applications where the display needs to be on for extended periods of time and the screen doesn’t need updating very often. This is a fairly low-level technology in terms of display design but it is ideally suited for specific applications and has an attractive price point, compared to alternative display technologies.”
