E-paper displays: More than paper – for a smart world
The principle of e-paper displays is based on charged particles suspended in a clear liquid. These move to the sides of microcapsules or microcups and become visible when an electric field is applied. E-paper displays show images and text even in bright light and in direct sunlight. They do not require backlighting. Under the motto "More than paper - for a smart world", the Asian company Seekink Inc. has developed numerous e-paper display technologies since 2015. The company has grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of e-paper and offers not only classic e-paper displays (EPD), but also complete solutions based on the latest technologies such as NFC, WLAN and Bluetooth.
