CLEARink To Showcase Color, Video ePaper Displays

CLEARink Displays announced today that it would showcase its state-of-the-art color, video capable electronic paper displays at the Society for Information Display’s annual DisplayWeek tradeshow in Los Angeles from May 23rd to May 25th.

Applications such as eSchoolbooks, mobile devices, wearables, and others seek the benefits of electronic paper including very low power, sunlight readability, and thin/light form factor but were unable to adopt due to lack of color and video. CLEARink Displays offer all the advantages of traditional electronic paper along with color and video, allowing these applications to blossom.

In consumer applications, cost is a major factor in adoption of new display technologies. Unlike other novel technologies that require proprietary infrastructure and expensive processes, CLEARink’s products will be built on existing, fully depreciated LCD production lines offering the market a revolutionary ePaper product at a lower cost. CLEARink has partnered with best in class LCD manufacturers and has commenced trial production in an LCD fab.

“This public demo of our technology is the culmination of many years of R&D by our team,” said Frank Christiaens, CEO of CLEARink Displays. “We believe that our product is what the industry has been waiting for – color, video, low power, sunlight readable, thin, light reflective displays that are easy on the eyes.”

CLEARink will pursue a strategy of selling display modules made by its ecosystem partners and will also license its technology for display companies to make their own products. Initially targeted applications in the mobile devices space include smart watches and bands, eSchoolbooks, electronic shelf labels and others where CLEARink has commenced reference design activity with a select set of leaders in the space, and has already secured $3M in licensing revenue from customers.
