E Ink has launched its largest E Ink Spectra 6 display, at 75-inch. The company will offer first samples towards the end of 2025 for its partners and customers.

The 75-inch Spectra 6 modules can be equipped with E Ink Ripple, the next-generation waveform and algorithm architecture that enables smoother display updates and expands color options. The newest waveform transitions can increase dwell time from customers and engagement for advertisements.

E Ink announced a new 4-particle color system to enable vibrant color with an extended temperature range for outdoor and digital out of home (DOOH) signage. The company brands these new displays as E Ink Marquee displays.

E Ink says that Marquee displays offer exceptional energy efficiency and broad temperature range, making it ideal for outdoor deployments. Preliminary performance metrics for E Ink Marquee’s full-color application features an operating temperature range between -20 and 65 °C., with ongoing development of the newest displays focused on reaching sizes as large as 75” diagonal and update times between 5-7 seconds.

E Ink announced that it has signed a term ship to form a joint-venture (JV) with AUO, to jointly invest TWD 390 million (around $11.8 million USD) to establish large-sized ePaper module production lines at AUO’s Longke site in Taoyuan, with mass production expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2025.

AUO (via its subsidiary ADP) will hold a 51% stake in the new JV, while E Ink will hold 49%. The new company will combine E Ink’s advanced ePaper materials and technology leadership, AUO Group’s strength in panel design, smart manufacturing, and production management, as well as ADP’s customer base and global market footprint in smart retail and digital signage sectors, driving aggressive expansion in large-sized ePaper display applications.

E Ink announced that it has developed a new technology that enabled it to reduce page flashing and enhance color performance in its E Ink Spectra displays.

By implementing a wave-like transition effect known as E Ink Ripple, screen refresh effects are minimized, enabling a smoother transition between display updates. Additionally, by leveraging the newly developed waveform driving architecture, E Ink enhances color mixing for its E Ink Spectra products by using the existing color particles to create new color options.

E Ink announced a collaboration with Realtek Semiconductor to unveil the second-generation System-on-Panel (SoP) electronic shelf label (ESL) reference design.

E Ink says that this new design is an innovation solution simplifies ESL development, significantly reducing the barrier to entry. Under identical display areas, the new-generation design achieves approximately a 30% reduction in thin-film transistor (TFT) size and a 50% decrease in flexible printed circuit (FPC) dimensions. This enables streamlined ESLs with slimmer borders perfectly suited for diverse retail environments.

Chinese smartphone producer Infinix demonstrated a new phone concept, that is powered by the company's own e-Color Shift 2.0 technology. The main idea is that the color E Ink display on the back shows colorful patterns, based on the current weather, controlled by an AI software. There are also preset patterns available for the users to choose.

It seems as this is only a concept so far, it'll be interesting to see if Infinix commercializes the technology. The company is also showing a concept phone case that includes an embedded perovskite solar panel to harvest indoor and outdoor light energy.
