The UN headquarters in New York installs the world's largest tiled E Ink display

E Ink Holdings and MpicoSys unveiled the world's largest tiled ePaper (E Ink) display sign at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The eWall was designed by the architects of the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), as part of a renovation of the North Delegates Lounge, and was donated by the government of The Netherlands. The eWall is 6x7 meters in size and it is made from 231 7.4" E Ink Pearl panels (33 tiles by 7) to a total resolution of 26,400 x 3,360.

The eWall can show scheduling, news and other relevant information to delegates and has a design mode that shows high-res large scale images and it can simply fade seamlessly into an unobtrusive wall when turned off.
