E-paper (electronic ink)
Published by Keonex, a manufacturer and implementer of electronic shelf labels. How we work and why we say so: methodology and transparency.
E-paper, or electronic ink, is a bistable display technology: each dot holds its state without power and only draws energy when it changes. That is why most electronic shelf labels use it, since their content changes a few times a day at most.
What it means in a label
Almost no consumption between updates, crisp reading under ambient light and a slow refresh compared with an LCD. The slowness does not matter for a price, but it does for animated content.
