E Ink Holdings announced this week the largest single display ePaper module to date. The new module, measuring 32” diagonally – that’s almost 25x the size of a typical eReader display, Ed is targeted primarily at applications in the digital signage and information kiosk markets and is available in black and white AND color modules.
The display has a resolution of 2560 X 1440, measures 27.75” by 15.75” at 94 DPI and has the same ultra-low power properties as all E Ink displays (along with being lightweight and readable in all light conditions).
The new module was developed in cooperation with Global Display Solutions (GDS), GDS having developed the enclosure technology for the display to be deployed in outdoor conditions with very low power consumption. Furthermore, GDS is a sales and marketing partner in the deployment of the ePaper displays for the digital signage market and will jointly market the product with E Ink.
Andrea Ongaro, GDS CTO told us “Using E Ink technology, we were able to design an outdoor display that is only a few millimeters in thickness with very low power consumption and without fan noise. We believe this product can replace existing LCD and LED displays for many applications in the digital signage market as well as open up new markets that are looking for green display technology. The E Ink 32” electronic paper display has a large enough active area to address a large part of these markets as a single unit. It can also be seamlessly tiled together to create a much larger display system.”
Harit Doshi, Head of Signage Business at E Ink said “E Ink’s partnership with GDS resulted in this unique ePaper display, which is ideally suited for signage applications. This module is one of the first milestones in bringing state-of-the-art, low power and sunlight readable products to the market.”
Giovanni Mancini, Head of Global Marketing at E Ink said “E Ink has had significant focus on diversifying its presence in the display market. Digital signage is one of those focus areas. The new large-sized display meets the needs for display applications in areas such as menu boards, transportation displays and information kiosks and we believe this will be a big growth area for E Ink Holdings.”
