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.

E Ink Holdings says business is recovering gradually from an inventory correction cycle. Demand for E Ink displays has risen, mainly due to the adoption of new color EPD displays for e-readers and electronic shelf labels (ESLs). The company believes that the first quarter of 2024 will be its lowest point in the year, and revenues will start rising in Q2 and onwards.

E Ink further says that many ESL customers are expected to increase orders in the third quarter of 2024, and a large retailer in North America has started replacing paper labels with ESLs. This could be Walmart as we published last year.
