Hanhaa announced that it is starting to deploy its ParceLive service with its first logistics partners. PriceLive is designed to be used as a tracking device for high-value, fragile, and time- or temperature-sensitive packages.

The ParceLive tracker is a mobile-connected device that is inserted in the parcel and then provides real-time information on the location, condition and security of the shipment. It uses a small E Ink display which displays an international returns license.

E Ink Holdings and Plastic Logic have renewed their Master Supply Agreement (MSA). This agreement centers around flexible e-paper production and the two companies hope that this will strengthen their collaboration and help accelerate market adoption for flexible e-paper displays.

Plastic Logic has been working with E Ink for over 10 years, applying PL's OTFT technology to E Ink's displays.

The San Diego airport new rental car center building installed the world's largest e-paper installation called Dazzle. Design team Ueberall International used more then 2,000 solar-powered E Ink Prism tiles to create Dazzle.

The art program manager at the San Diego Airport says that this installation will be viewed daily by hundreds of thousands of airport visitors and motorists on the nearby Interstate 5 freeway. This is an example of a sustainable, programmable and exciting new art installation. The entire installation had a budget of $875,000, which is about $437 per panel, but of course the price of each panel also includes the wireless communication devices, solar panels, software and more.
