E Ink Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs)

By E Ink

E Ink’s Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs) are becoming the new normal. With their extremely low power consumption, wide viewing angle, and the ability to wirelessly update content, ESLs are transforming the way retailers manage pricing and product information. Benefits of ESLs Traditional paper price tags require frequent manual updates, which can lead to inefficiencies and potential pricing errors. ESLs help to limit these issues by offering: - Wireless updates: prices and product details can be updated remotely in minutes, significantly reducing labor costs and time spent on manual updates. - Low power consumption: E Ink displays only consume power when updating, allowing batteries to last up to five years. - Enhanced readability: unlike traditional digital displays, E Ink labels offer a paper-like appearance with a wide viewing angle and are easy to read. - Color options: available in black and white, three, or four-color variations, these displays allow for promotions and product highlights that increase shopper engagement. - Temperature range: the most durable E Ink displays function in temperatures as low as -25°C, making them ideal for use in colder environments like fridges and freezers. ESLs can be used in applications such as electronics and appliances, pharmacies, cosmetics, department stores, and clothing retailers. ESLs can also be used to provide more than just price information. They serve as a digital communication tool that can show promotions and discounts, competitor pricing, customer reviews, product ingredients, currency conversion, inventory levels, and more.

E Ink Spectra™ 6 75” Display Module

Largest full-color ePaper form factor offers high-resolution visuals, ultra-low power consumption, and easy content updates E Ink (8069.TW), a pioneer and leading global developer of ePaper technology, today announced the launch of its largest E Ink Spectra™ 6 form factor to date, a 75” full-color ePaper display module. The debut of the Spectra 6 75” follows this year’s launch of the E Ink Kaleido™ 3 75” during ISE, as E Ink continues to prioritize larger formats across its ePaper portfolio. Initial sample modules will be available in Q4 of 2025 to the partners who presented at Touch Taiwan 2025 in collaboration with E Ink. Our new 75” Spectra 6 display marks a significant milestone in E Ink’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge, sustainable digital signage. By combining a highly saturated, full-color ePaper experience with extreme energy efficiency, we’re giving advertisers, brands and retailers an innovative way to engage customers while reducing their environmental impact. We’re excited to see how partners will harness this technology to transform indoor digital advertising applications. The 75” Spectra 6 modules can be equipped with E Ink Ripple™, the next-generation waveform and algorithm architecture that enables smoother display updates and expands color options. The newest waveform transitions can increase dwell time from customers and engagement for advertisements. Applications and use cases include advertisements, information displays and wayfinding signage, as well as corporate and retail branding exhibits. The larger form factor helps drive engagement and enhances communication via vivid color ePaper displays. Key features of E Ink Spectra 6 modules include: - Rich, vivid colors for commercial displays - Extreme energy efficiency with an operating temperature ranging from 0-50 °C - Optimizing space utility by transforming static poster spaces into dynamic displays, enabling effortless and energy-efficient content updates without manual intervention By using power only when updating content, E Ink’s ePaper technology is highly energy-efficient and non-emissive—relying on ambient light rather than a constant backlight. This design significantly reduces power consumption and carbon emissions compared to both paper and LCDs.

E Ink Prism™ 3

A Multi-Color ePaper Film Enabling Product Personalization E Ink Prism 3 is the next generation Prism film, which bridges the gap between traditional static materials and digital technology with dynamically changing materials. E Ink Prism 3 is a design material that enables personal expression and freedom of design freedom onto everyday surfaces. It is the next generation Prism film, which bridges the gap between traditional static materials and digital technology with dynamically changing materials. Fully programmable, designers can now integrate endless materials with changeable colors and patterns. Prism 3 brings the magic of color-change to a wide-variety of applications, including white goods (appliances), architecture and wearables. E Ink Prism 3 offers product designers to choose from six (6) colors and combine them with patterns to create rich, dynamic surfaces. These 6 colors will have been waveform tuned against a temperature range of 0-50 C. Black, White, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green. Additional benefits include: - Low energy consumption – E Ink’s renowned bistability means that power is only consumed when displays are updated; no power is consumed once the color is displayed - Priority on personalization – Designers have the option of combining intricate patterns and colors onto the surface to further enhance their products - Thin and durable – Rugged design provides a thin and light solution for surface displays Prism is rugged and flexible which enables manufacturers and fabricators to cut, shape and integrate with a wide variety of substrates. Its low power consumption reduces or eliminates the need for electrical outlets and enables alternative options such as batteries and renewable energy sources. E Ink Prism 3 is part of E Ink’s segmented display product line. In this type of product, a drive line is mapped for each segment, enabling simple graphic or numerical displays. Unlike products requiring a thin film transistor (TFT), Prism 3 can be manufactured in any 2D shape, for example, a circle, triangle, or abstract shape, enhancing industrial designs. Applications: - Retail - Consumer electronics - Residential applications - Apparel - Industrial goods - Automotive
