E Ink’s color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays

For the past few years, we've seen a bunch of e-readers and e-notes featuring E Ink's Kaleido 3 technology. But if you thought that this color ePaper was limited to handheld devices, think again. E Ink has now shown off 75-inch outdoor displays.

"As more countries look to reduce their carbon footprint and increase the sustainability of their communities, the benefits of an E Ink display, with its low power consumption and non-light pollution characteristics, can bring real change to indoor and outdoor Digital Out-of-Home signage," said Dr. F.Y. We've been unable to find any info on LG's version, but DynaScan has integrated the Kaleido Outdoor 3 technology into its DK Series Kiosks – which are also available in LED, LCD and lightbox options. Agile echoes the energy efficiency chops for its application, with the company pitching the ePaper technology as "a sustainable and city-friendly alternative to traditional outdoor displays that uses 1/10 the power of LCD or LED screens."
