Munich February 03, 2025 Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe demonstrates its unwavering commitment to sustainable innovation with advancements in its energy-efficient ePaper technology, developing larger sizes and outdoor-compatible solutions. Bringing all the advantages of digital signage to static poster installations, at Integrated Systems Europe (ISE) 2025 in Barcelona, visitors to stand E500 in Hall 3 can view and compare the broadening range of ePaper products which deliver outstanding visual quality with a paper-like surface, without consuming energy during content playback.

As a digital alternative to paper posters, new sizes are appropriately categorised using the standard DIN paper format: A3 (20”), A2 (28”), A1 (40”) and A0 (57”). Currently on the market in two sizes, the EP-C131 (13.3”) and EP-C251 (25.3”), and new larger sizes will open wider application opportunities. At ISE, the A0-size Sharp ePaper display will be integrated into a totem featuring solar power, battery storage and wireless communication functions. This solution eliminates the need for cabling and is suitable for outdoor signage use. First exhibited at CEATEC in September 2024, this innovative solution for DOOH applications was awarded the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Award, in recognition of its outstanding energy saving performance and suitability for displaying emergency information without reliance on a power supply.

Even in very bright environments, the Sharp ePaper display impresses with remarkably brilliant images in full colour, enhanced by ACeP performance. Comparable to paper, there is no blue light nor reflection, creating a very comfortable viewing experience. With no backlight, the ePaper display has no power demands when displaying content and only requires minimal power when content changes. The many possible applications include information boards, point of sale promotions, wayfinding and menu boards – wherever static content changes frequently. Featuring an integrated System on Chip (SoC), the configuration of the device settings and the display of new content is easy and flexible through selected CMS partners or via USB, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, using an intuitive online tool or an app for mobile devices.

“The Sharp ePaper display is generating a lot of interest and receiving industry recognition for its significant potential for the carbon-neutral future of digital signage,” explains Martin Lienau, Product Manager at Sharp NEC Display Solutions Europe. “We are excited to explore the wide application opportunities for this new technology which prioritises sustainability by using recycled components and conserving resources, but also delivers the quality, reliability and durability that our customers expect. We anticipate and welcome many interesting conversations at ISE around our Sharp ePaper exhibit!”

The new Sharp ePaper displays will be on show at the Sharp stand at ISE 2025 (E500, Hall 3) from February 4 to 7, Fira Barcelona, Spain. For more information, please visit our ISE 2025 web.
