Toppan Printing Co., Ltd. has developed a segmented electronic paper display (EPD) module ideal for designs incorporating icons and alphanumeric characters. Sample shipments will begin in mid-September 2015.
This new segmented EPD enables smooth, attractive displays with high-quality design features. This is achieved by using alphanumeric characters, icons or other images to be displayed as the basis for the shape of the electrodes in the circuit design. By applying color filter technology developed for dot-matrix EPDs, Toppan has enabled color display in selected areas of the new segmented EPD.
Like other forms of electronic paper, this segmented EPD is an ultra-low power consumption device able to continue to show what is on the screen without any electrical power being supplied and only requiring power when changing or updating what is displayed. Potential applications include remote controls, indicators and status displays.
EPDs consume less power than LCDs, and the information displayed on the screen can be seen more easily from a broader range of angles. They are expected to be used in industry to replace conventional technologies for electronic device displays, shelf labels and printed labels. Toppan supplies EPD modules for large-size applications, such as digital signage, and small and medium-size devices centered on electronic labels and point-of-purchase displays.
