Congratulations to E Ink on Winning the "Pioneer" Award for E-Paper Technological Innovation at ePIC 2025

E Ink has joined hands with Realtek to launch the 2nd-Generation SOP E-Paper Shelf Label, which features a 30% reduction in TFT area and 50% reduction in FPC area, forming an ultra-thin and narrow-bezel module.

SOP (System on Panel) integrates IC, TFT, and system circuits onto the same substrate, directly creating an e-paper display system. This integration simplifies the manufacturing process, reduces material consumption and power consumption, and helps the retail industry adopt efficient and low-carbon dynamic price display solutions.

The 2nd-Generation product has optimized the circuit layout and transmission line design, enhancing overall efficiency. With the signal transmission distance now close to that of traditional shelf labels, it has fully met the requirements for commercial application.
