Display components with system

E-paper displays—also known as electronic paper displays—work without backlighting. They operate using charged particles in microcapsules, which only require energy when the image changes. The display remains visible without any power supply afterward, making them ideal for battery-powered devices or applications focused on energy efficiency. In short: e-paper is perfect for applications with static or rarely changing content, where longevity, energy efficiency, and excellent visibility are required.

Technology comparison:
Where e-paper excels

E-paper displays score points thanks to their outstanding energy efficiency and excellent readability – especially with static content. This makes them ideal for applications where low power consumption and good legibility are paramount. In comparison, TFT and LCD displays are considered proven all-rounders that can be implemented cost-effectively – but they have a significantly higher energy demand. For particularly brilliant colors and excellent contrast, AMOLED displays are often used.
These offer high image quality – but are expensive and have a shorter lifespan. LED and especially micro-LED displays are characterized by very high brightness and longevity. Micro-LED is regarded as a premium solution – but it comes with correspondingly high costs.
