Pervasive Displays white papers

A guide to e-paper technology and its growing
range of applications

As a bistable display technology, e-paper can be extremely low power, allowing it to be used in devices without the power budget of a traditional LCD display. Once the text and images of an EPD have been rendered no power is needed to maintain the display. In fact, e-paper is so low power that harvested energy can be used to make updates, enabling the use of RFID or NFC devices with battery-less EPDs. E-paper’s ability to add thin, light, highly-readable displays to low power or no power devices opens up a wide range of applications across the IoT space, from logistics to discrete manufacturing to retail. Battery-less, human-readable RFID tags for logistics and manufacturing, electronic shelf labels that can be monitored and updated remotely, smart badges with integrated displays.
