E Ink epaper displays are popular for a wide range of indoor and outdoor signage applications, see the characteristics and benefits section below. Digital View is developing driver boards, open-frame and finished display products to support E Ink based display projects in transport, public signage and a wide range of indoor sign and display applications.

- Sunlight readable
- Ultra-low power
- Dark Sky compliant
The E Ink epaper display technology, like paper, relies on reflected light. Like paper posters it is highly readable in daylight, and like paper it doesn't rely on power to be readable in sunlight.
This is the other aspect where epaper based displays really excel. The display itself consumes zero power to hold an image so it is only the other electronics that consumes power. With suitable system it is easy top have a display system that operates completely independently with solar and/or wind power together with a rechargeable battery.
Thanks to this very low power requirement there are a number of power options:
- AC to DC power (if available)
- Solar &/or wind power with a rechargeable battery
- POE (Power over Ethernet)
E Ink displays do not emit light which makes them ideally suited to dark sky environments. They can be read with minimal ambient light or a sky shielded downlighter.
We have many developments in progress. For information on about the things we are ready to announce please see our blog (https://www.digitalview.com/blog/). Or contact us if you would like to discuss a development opportunity.
Some of the areas we do work on:
- Optical: Optical bonding, front light, protective films
- Electronics: Driver boards, media boards, other accessory boards
- Software: Apps and utilities for working with E Ink panels
- Enclosures: Indoor and outdoor
