Samsung's 13-Inch E-Paper Housing Is Made from Phytoplankton Plastic - Yanko Design
"Printed signs get reprinted every week, while full LCD signage burns power all day just to show a static promo. E-ink has quietly solved this in e-readers by holding text without sipping battery, but it has not shown up in everyday public spaces where signs still get taped to shelves. Samsung's new 13-inch Color E-Paper is a panel that tries to live in that middle ground, digital enough to update remotely, quiet enough to blend in."
"It uses digital ink and an embedded rechargeable battery to hold static images at zero watts, sipping power only when content changes. Designer: Samsung A grocery aisle, cosmetics shelf, or bookstore with weekly specials could run these panels instead of printed posters. Staff update prices and layouts from their phones using the Samsung E-Paper app, or centrally through Samsung's VXT cloud platform, without ladders, tape, or stacks of paper."
Samsung's 13-inch Color E-Paper is an A4-sized, 1,600 x 1,200-pixel, 4:3 color e-ink panel designed for shelves, counters, tables, and doors. The panel holds static images at zero watts with an embedded rechargeable battery and consumes power only during content changes. Staff can update prices and layouts from phones via the Samsung E-Paper app or centrally through Samsung's VXT cloud platform, enabling instant campaign swaps without ladders, tape, or printed posters. An advanced color imaging algorithm improves gradations and contours to approximate print quality. The housing uses bio-resin with 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based resin, cutting manufacturing emissions by over 40%.
