E-paper displays
E-paper displays for professional applications
E-paper displays—also known as E-Ink displays—are particularly energy-efficient, non-reflective, and permanently readable, even in sunlight. They are ideal for applications where energy efficiency and readability are paramount.
Whether as digital price tags, signage, or status displays, we offer tailor-made e-paper solutions for industrial and commercial applications.
We have been nominated in the Electronic Displays category.
The nomination was for the development of "Adaptive E-Paper Driving, " which provides innovative approaches to controlling and optimizing E-Ink displays.
The Embedded Awards recognize particularly innovative products and technologies in the field of embedded systems.
Custom-Designed, as Unique as Your Product
We customize your e-paper display—from compact modules to large-format color displays. We integrate wireless technologies such as NFC, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi, as well as customized electronics, mechanics, and control systems. The result is an energy-efficient, robust display.
Our Industry Solutions:
Engineered in Germany
We provide comprehensive support for the development and integration of e-paper displays into your application. Our consulting services cover all relevant aspects—from selecting suitable panels and adapting waveforms and look-up tables to ensuring reliable display under difficult conditions, e.g., outdoors. We analyze the system environment as early as the design phase and lay the foundation for a technically sound, durable, and easy-to-install solution.

Viewing angle independent and low maintenance
In industrial applications, e-paper displays must operate reliably over the long term. In addition to extended temperature ranges and changing environmental conditions, the service life of the electronic ink plays a particularly important role. The display design takes into account the number of switching cycles, update strategies, and the influence of temperature and UV exposure. A robust construction and coordinated control ensure stable display and reliable operation over many years—even in demanding industrial environments.
Digital and easy on the eyes
E-paper displays are ideal for building management systems and smart signage. They enable permanently visible displays without a permanent power supply, for example as room-related signage or as a substitute for paper in building technology. NFC-based solutions are completely energy self-sufficient; alternatively, the digital paper can be integrated into a central control system. This creates flexible, low-maintenance display and information systems for modern living environments.
Color-intensive and suitable for sunlight
Color e-paper large displays are suitable for digital signage applications with static or rarely changing content. They offer a paper-like display, are easy to read even in direct sunlight, and only require energy when the image changes. This makes them particularly energy-efficient information and advertising spaces for indoor and outdoor use. Integration into central control systems allows flexible content updates with minimal operating effort.
Even after series production, we remain at your side. In the event of necessary changes or discontinuations, we will support you with equivalent alternatives. Guaranteed!
Environmentally friendly and efficient
E-paper displays for outdoor use must withstand specific environmental influences. These include extreme temperature fluctuations, direct sunlight, moisture, and UV exposure. The key factors are customized control, suitable materials, and a protective design tailored to the application. The reflective display ensures that content remains clearly legible even in bright ambient light. This makes e-paper displays ideal for low-maintenance, energy-efficient outdoor information and signage solutions.
Labor-saving and resource-efficient
Electronic labels based on e-paper are used in warehousing and logistics environments for the digital labeling of shelves, storage locations, and containers. Content remains permanently visible and can be updated centrally or via NFC. The systems are designed for long service life and robust environmental conditions. Electronic shelf labels originated in the retail sector, but are now increasingly used for structured, paperless processes in warehouse logistics.

FAQs
An ePaper display (also known as an E-Ink display) is a reflective display technology that displays content in a similar way to printed paper. The display only requires energy when the image changes and then remains stable and visible without power (bistable display).
E-paper displays are extremely energy-efficient, suitable for use in sunlight, and easy on the eyes. They are particularly suitable for applications with static or rarely changing content. However, compared to TFT displays, they are slower and only suitable for animations to a limited extent.
In addition to classic black-and-white displays, multicolor e-paper displays are also available, e.g., with red, yellow, or advanced color e-paper technologies with full-color displays. Color displays are particularly suitable for digital signage and visual information systems.
The service life of an e-paper display depends largely on the number of switching cycles and the environmental conditions. With customized control, optimized waveforms, and suitable update strategies, e-paper displays can be operated reliably for many years.
Yes, e-paper displays are very well suited for outdoor applications. The reflective display remains clearly legible even in direct sunlight. However, for outdoor use, the temperature range, UV exposure, humidity, and housing protection must be taken into account. We have experience in integration and possible applications.
Depending on the application, e-paper displays can be equipped with NFC, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. This makes it possible to implement both energy-autonomous solutions (e.g., NFC-based labeling) and centrally controlled systems.
Yes. ePaper displays can be developed and customized to meet specific customer requirements—e.g., in terms of size, color, electronics, control, housing, or integration into existing systems. Special requirements regarding temperature ranges or update behavior can also be taken into account. However, it should be noted that graphic displays are based on TFT technology and therefore require very high initial investments for customer-specific cell sizes and large purchase quantities in series production. We recommend the use of standard sizes with customer-specific adaptations.
