During this year’s InfoComm trade show in Las Vegas, US, Samsung announced a color E-Paper TV. It’s still a working prototype, but from the looks of it, it could be launched sooner rather than later. It is essentially a full-color e-ink display panel designed for displaying advertisements or public service announcements in offices, shopping malls, retail stores or even outdoor public places.
The technology behind it is quite fascinating. It is a 32-inch TV with QHD resolution capable of displaying up to 60,000 colors. It’s also just 17.9mm thick and tips the scales at 2.9kg without the battery.
Speaking of battery, the display itself consumes no power when showing a static image. The only time the TV needs power is when the content on the screen changes.
It can do this by providing pre-loaded content on its 8GB internal memory, but it can also be connected via Bluetooth, Wi-FI and 2 USB-C connectors (one for power and one for transfers). The frame around the TV can be easily replaced and is compatible with VESA 200 x 200 wall mounts.
The Korean tech giant plans to launch the TV with a dedicated app that can easily manage the content on the screen.
