Samsung Color E-Paper
The Color E-Paper is a radical new technology that uses a color e-ink (E Ink Spectra 6) display panel for advertising screens. It has a pixel density of 200ppi and a 30:1 contrast ratio. It can operate at up to 50ºC ambient temperatures. It can be used in hotels, malls, restaurants, and retail stores to display maps, menus, and product listings.
This extremely thin and light display can be placed on a table or hung horizontally or vertically on a wall or ceiling. More importantly, it doesn't consume any (0.00W) power while displaying static content. Power is consumed only when the image on the screen changes. It features 8GB storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and a system to change display content remotely.
