May 28 — LG Electronics has launched the 'LG ePaper Display', a product that dramatically reduces power consumption, accelerating its offensive in the commercial display market. LG Electronics announced on May 28 that it will first launch the LG ePaper Display in South Korea early next month, with gradual entry into overseas markets including Europe.

The product achieves a paper-poster-like texture and can maintain images for extended periods, offering higher energy efficiency and installation convenience compared to traditional digital signage.

The display uses E Ink panel technology, which moves and fixes charged micro color particles through electric fields to render images. Once an image is displayed, no additional power is required to maintain it. Power consumption during image changes is also significantly lower than traditional digital signage, delivering substantial energy savings. It is expected to find broad application in commercial spaces where content — such as store menus, price tags, and promotional signage — remains displayed for extended periods.

The product is 32 inches, supporting QHD (2560 × 1440) resolution with a 16:9 aspect ratio. It uses reflective display technology that leverages ambient light to present images, resulting in wide viewing angles and relatively low eye strain.

To improve color reproduction, LG Electronics has also applied its proprietary image quality enhancement algorithm, compensating for the limitations of E Ink products and achieving more natural, vivid colors.

Battery performance has also been enhanced. The new product is equipped with a 72 Wh high-capacity battery and an ultra-low-power system-on-chip (SoC), enabling extended operation. When powered off, it charges to full in approximately 3 hours using the included charger. The rear panel features an interface for attaching a magnetic auxiliary battery and supports wireless charging, improving adaptability across different installation environments.

Operational efficiency features are also included. Users can set content switching schedules and use the 'Power Management' function to automatically control power — turning on only when content needs to be changed. This not only reduces unnecessary power usage but also extends battery life, easing the management burden for enterprise customers operating multiple displays.

The display integrates with LG Electronics' commercial display operations solution, 'LG SuperSign CMS'. Through this system, users can remotely monitor product status via a web browser, easily make settings changes or content replacements, and distribute content to multiple ePaper displays simultaneously or manage them on a schedule. Content operation using USB storage devices or customers' own CMS servers is also supported.

Design competitiveness is also emphasized. By removing the backlight, the display achieves a paper-thin appearance, with an overall thickness of 17.8 mm and a thinnest point of 8.6 mm. Weight including the built-in battery is only 3.1 kg, enabling relatively easy installation in a variety of spaces such as walls or store interiors. The design's perfection was recognized with a top prize at the international Red Dot Design Award 2026.
