Low power, bi-stable e-Paper displays

offer new and innovative design and application opportunities

Plastic-based display substrates enable rugged, durable solutions

Display solutions and embedded systems provider, Review Display Systems (RDS) has announced the availability of a range of monochrome and colour e-Paper displays from leading display manufacturer Holitech Technology Corporation.

Bi-stable display technology - ideal for low-power applications, e-Paper displays use a bi-stable display technology where no applied power is required to maintain a display image. The display image will be retained when all power sources are removed. An e-Paper display will only consume power when the display image is being changed or updated.

Reduced power consumption - bi-stable e-Paper displays can help to reduce system power consumption and extend the lifetime of battery-power products. Significant power savings can be achieved when using an e-Paper display when compared with an equivalent-sized TFT LCD display.

Rugged and durable - e-Paper displays are comprised of an ink layer laminated to a flexible, plastic film substrate. Plastic-based e-Paper displays enable the end product to be substantially lighter and thinner than products using glass-based TFT display modules. In addition, glass-based TFTs can be susceptible to shock, extreme vibration and physical drops whereas the use of plastic-based e-Paper displays can provide a more rugged and robust display solution.

Wide range of displays - Review Display Systems can supply a wide range of monochrome and colour e-Paper display panels in sizes from 1.5-inch to 31-inch. Segment and dot matrix types, with a range of different resolutions are available.
