Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of the globally recognized technology firm Sharp Corporation, has recently unveiled its latest innovation in the digital display arena with the introduction of its new ePaper displays. These displays, available in 13” and 25” Class sizes, represent a significant leap forward in the world of energy-efficient signage solutions, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional paper posters and printed materials.
Designed to cater to a variety of settings requiring static content that needs regular updates—such as retail promotions, menu boards, transportation timetables, and more—the Sharp ePaper displays stand out for their minimal power consumption. They maintain always-on visibility, consuming virtually no power when displaying a static image and only requiring minimal power for content updates. This feature positions Sharp’s new ePaper as a cornerstone technology for businesses aiming for a carbon-neutral footprint.
The technological advancement of these displays is underscored by their Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP) color performance, enabling full-color capability with excellent contrast, wide viewing angles, and high resolution. This innovation delivers an ergonomic content presentation that mimics the look and feel of actual paper, enhancing readability in various lighting conditions without the adverse effects of screen glare or blue light emission. Such characteristics emphasize Sharp’s dedication to sustainability and viewer comfort, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally friendly technologies.
Installation flexibility is another highlight of the Sharp ePaper displays, featuring a slim, lightweight design that supports various orientations and mounting options. This adaptability is complemented by an optional battery for versatile power solutions, making the displays suitable for a wide range of applications. Furthermore, the integrated System on a Chip (SoC) ensures a future-proof operation, allowing for seamless content delivery through selected Content Management System (CMS) partners or simple management options via USB, WiFi, or Bluetooth.
Keith Yanke, Vice President of Product & Solutions Marketing at Sharp, emphasized the transformative potential of Sharp’s new ePaper, highlighting its ability to integrate into existing business practices seamlessly. The ePaper displays not only offer a sustainable alternative to conventional display methods but also enable easy content management and distribution, marking a revolutionary step for industries seeking eco-friendly display solutions.
Set to be available from March, the Sharp ePaper displays promise to redefine the standards of digital signage, offering businesses a versatile, sustainable, and visually appealing solution for their advertising and information dissemination needs.
