What is E-Paper Displays?
E-paper displays, also known as electronic paper or e-ink displays, use bistable electronic ink technology to render text and images that remain visible without any power draw once the content has been updated. onQ's commercial e-paper displays are available in multiple sizes and colour configurations, with wireless connectivity for remote content management via onQ CMS.
Key Features
Ultra-Low Power Consumption for Sustainable Signage
E-paper displays consume power only during content updates, drawing zero energy when displaying static content. This bistable technology makes e-paper displays the most energy-efficient digital signage solution available, reducing power costs by up to 99% compared to LCD alternatives for applications where content changes infrequently. For large-scale deployments across retail networks, the energy savings are substantial.
Paper-Like Readability in Any Lighting Condition
E-paper displays render text and images with the same high contrast and readability as printed paper, without glare or backlight wash-out. Unlike LCD displays, e-paper screens are reflective rather than emissive, meaning they become more readable in brighter ambient light conditions, making them ideal for well-lit retail environments, outdoor-facing window applications, and spaces where screen glare is a concern.
Wireless Connectivity and Remote Content Management
onQ's commercial e-paper displays feature wireless connectivity for remote content updates via onQ CMS. Push price changes, wayfinding updates, meeting room schedules, or promotional content to individual displays or entire networks from a central dashboard, without requiring physical access to each screen. Battery-powered variants eliminate the need for power cabling entirely, enabling flexible placement anywhere in your venue.
Durable, Lightweight Design for High-Volume Deployments
E-paper displays are significantly lighter and thinner than LCD alternatives, making them ideal for high-volume shelf-edge and price labelling deployments where installation efficiency is critical. The robust, shatter-resistant display surface withstands the handling demands of busy retail environments, and the absence of a backlight eliminates one of the most common failure points in LCD displays.
Applications for E-Paper Displays in Australian Businesses
E-paper displays are deployed across a wide range of commercial applications including retail price labelling and shelf-edge displays, supermarket and grocery promotional ticketing, meeting room booking and availability displays, hotel room and facility signage, corporate office wayfinding and directory boards, and library and educational institution signage. Any application requiring clear, readable signage with minimal power consumption benefits from e-paper technology.
