Information

Segment E Ink Displays

Advanced e-Paper Solutions for Diverse Applications

Discover our custom segment E Ink displays engineered for electronic shelf labels, scales, signage, timepieces, and smart cards. Featuring individually addressable segments on flexible or rigid substrates.

Revolutionary e-Paper Technology

E Ink technology utilizes millions of microcapsules containing positively charged white particles and negatively charged black particles suspended in a clear fluid. By applying precise electric fields, these particles migrate to the surface, creating high-contrast images with exceptional clarity.

Unlike traditional LCDs, E Ink displays provide paper-like readability with 180° viewing angles, near-zero power consumption in static mode, and sunlight visibility with 40%+ reflectance. With thickness under 0.8mm and flexible construction options, they enable innovative form factors.

Ultra-Low Power

Bistable technology consumes power only during image updates

Sunlight Readable

Reflective technology performs perfectly in direct sunlight

Wide Viewing Angle

180° viewing angle with no backlight washout

Segment Display Solutions

Our segment E Ink displays feature flexible or rigid electrode-patterned substrates, allowing for individual addressing and separate control of each segment. Choose from two optimized product types:

Segment Display Cells (SDCs)

SDCs are independent display cells without embedded electronics, offering maximum design flexibility:

Operates at 5V or 15V driving voltage
Ideal for designs with lower segment counts
Simpler PCB integration requirements
Flexible PET substrate options available
Custom shapes and segment configurations

Applications: Simple indicators, basic instruments, cost-sensitive devices

Segment Display Modules (SDMs)

SDMs include integrated E Ink display drivers for a complete solution:

Integrated driver IC simplifies MCU interface
Reduced pin count (typically 3-8 pins)
Compact footprint for space-constrained designs
Available in COB, COG, and COF packaging
Supports SPI, I2C, and parallel interfaces

Applications: Complex displays, portable devices, industrial equipment
