Ynvisible announced that it has relocated its printed electronics production facility to Norrköping, Sweden. 

The company says that the new roll-to-roll manufacturing facility is fully commissioned and operational, and it now has access to increased capacity.

E Ink Holdings says that it expects its revenue to decline slightly in the second half of 2025, as some of its eReader customers are likely to reduce orders as there are concerns over US tariffs. Next year, though, E Ink expects an improvement.

E Ink's Q2 2025 revenues reached $354 million, higher than the previous quarter, driven by higher demand for color panels as device makers are transitioning from monochrome displays to color displays. The company's production lines are currently fully utilized, and the company cannot supply all of its demand. E Ink's net profit in the quarter grew 47% to reach almost $100 million USD.

E Ink is showing an interesting new application for its ePaper displays - as a small second display within a laptop's touchpad.

E Ink's concept laptop offers a color E Ink display, and the company says that such a display can be used for AI-generated text summaries that appear under your hands while you are writing. Another use case is to be able to chat with an AI agent while looking at the keyboard area rather then the screen. 

The ePaper industry and market, led by E Ink, is growing, mostly fueled by demand for electronic shelf labels, next-gen tablets and eReaders, and signage displays and also by the advances in color ePaper technologies. Here are some recent and popular news that you may find of interest:

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.
