During a trade show in the US (Infocomm 2024), Samsung showed its first color ePaper display, aimed towards advertisement applications - in restaurants, malls, offices, retail stores, etc.

The EMDX color ePaper TV is based on a 32" 2560 x 1440 color E Ink panel. The display also offers 8GB of internal storage, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and USB-C ports. 

Asus demonstrated a new laptop that includes an integrated E Ink display at the rear of its lid. The display is a color E Ink panel. The basic application that Asus envisions is a digital "laptop sticker" showcase.

Placing an E Ink panel at the back of a laptop is not a new idea. Intel showed a prototype device back in 2014, and over the years we have seen several commercial laptops with a 2nd E Ink display.

Tianma unveiled a new display technology, an ePaper display it brands as micro-Fluidink (uFluidink).

At Displayweek 2024, the company showed two prototype panels. The first is a 6.7" 960x1920 (320 PPI) monochrome panel targeting e-readers.

E Ink Holdings took part in Displayweek 2024, showing its latest ePaper displays and panels, and solutions:

As always, E Ink took a visible role at the event, sponsoring the I-Zone and with a large number of employees at the exhibition floor. 

Earlier this month E Ink Holdings said that the first quarter of 2024 will be its lowest point in the year, and indeed now the company formally reported its earnings, saying that there was a 25% decline in profits (to about $40.9 million) in Q1, as its customers struggled with an excessive inventory which resulted in decline in orders.

E Ink says that this decline is due to the transition to color ESL solutions, and it expects its IoT business to return to normal growth by Q3 2024. Its e-Reader business segment is seeing robust growth, better than expected, signalling a smooth switch to color ePaper solutions.  The company retains its positive outlook for this year, expecting revenue to grow every quarter going forward.
