Discover how the new Samsung EMDX ePaper display range and the Zebrix solution offer a new digital signage approach that is sustainable, efficient, and low impact.
🌱 Samsung EMDX, the new generation of ultra-efficient color e-paper displays!
With the new Samsung Color E-Paper EMDX Series, digital signage enters a new era. These ultra-thin, backlight-free displays offer excellent readability while consuming up to 99% less energy than traditional LCD screens.
👉 The secret? A technology that only uses power when a new image is displayed. As a result, the screen consumes nothing to maintain a static image and emits no heat. Powered by a battery and connected via USB-C, these displays offer up to 250 days of autonomy under normal use.
Made with 55% recycled materials, they are also particularly lightweight and thin: weighing just 2 kg for a 32-inch size and only 17 mm thick, making installation easier with lighter supports.
And for the first time, this technology is available in color (6M pixels) with clear resolution and faithful rendering. Ideal for displaying information, visuals or messages without compromising aesthetics. Their record refresh rate of just 13 seconds allows all types of static content to be updated and broadcast easily.
This technology also represents an extraordinary environmental breakthrough. While traditional paper-based signage is the world's largest water-consuming industry and the fifth in energy consumption, Samsung's e-paper is 60,000 times better than paper and 12,000 times better than LCD in terms of CO₂ emissions. E-paper is therefore an excellent opportunity to replace printed signage and some LCD screens, provided the use is well considered.
