Demonstrated e-Tile and Various e-Paper Displays at Display Week Exhibition
Updated Article:
Dang, check out that swanky e-Tile display E Ink showed off at the Display Week in LA! The 2x4-inch solar-powered e-paper display can function on its own or link up with as many as 96 similar segments for a whopping large e-paper screen. Each e-tile communicates via wireless 802.xx protocol, giving them the flexibility to be controlled individually or as a single big display. Better yet, they were flaunting a 5-tile display outside their booth, scrolling content and powered by ambient light at the event.
E Ink, gotta hand it to 'em, they're all about saving space with their e-tile tech, requiring less than 1% of the total display area. And hey, it's part of their Dazzle technology—yep, you read that right—showcasing 2,100 color-changing tiles for the world's largest ePaper media facade at San Diego International Airport's Rental Car Center. E Ink teamed up with Ueberall International to make this happen, with over 2,000 e-paper displays forming the world's largest media facade built from e-paper.
Besides that, E Ink displayed electronic shelf labels and other e-paper solutions for various outdoor signage, indoor advertising, and general workplace applications. They got their eye on the healthcare, architecture, retail, and work-from-home sectors with their smart e-paper displays. In addition to that, Advanced Color ePaper or ACeP displays were exhibited in 32-inch and 13.3-inch sizes, aiming for a fresh launch later this year or early next.
Lastly, E Ink unveiled a 6.8-inch flexible e-paper display based on an Organic TFT (OTFT) backplane, developed in collaboration with Flexterra. The OTFT backplane is predicted for mass production of flexible e-paper displays. Moreover, they showcased new smart ESLs crafted in partnership with Toshiba. These sleek displays, each measuring 1.54-inch, can be stacked for a max display size of 11-inches and operate using ambient light, eliminating the need for an external power source.

E-reader and smartphones are among the devices that could potentially benefit from the advancements in E Ink technology, such as the flexible 6.8-inch e-paper display and the new smart ESLs. These technologies, with their ambient light operation and ability to be stacked, could offer a unique and power-efficient reading experience on portable devices.
Moreover, the development of the Organic TFT (OTFT) backplane for flexible e-paper displays opens possibilities for the evolution of various gadgets, not limited to e-readers, to incorporate flexible displays in the near future. Moreover, E Ink's collaboration with Toshiba on the smart ESLs could lead to a new generation of sleek and compact e-ink gadgets, setting a trend in the tech world.
