Perovskite materials offer exciting properties which make them useful for solar panels, fuel cells, lasers - and even displays. Many believe Perovskites are the future of solar power and some estimate that perovskite QD adoption in display applications is right around the corner. Our new video below gives a short introduction to perovskites:

Visionect's E Ink based Joan meeting scheduling solution is a very successful product, but it's relatively expensive - starting at €449 for the basic 6" model.

Visionect launched a new payment system, which they call Joan Universal. In this version, Joan costs only €199 - but with a monthly subscription fee of €19.95. You can pay for only the months you need the device (the data will be retained in the months you do not pay), so this new fee structure could be attractive.

Visionect announced a new project in Sydney, to install digital bus stops around the Town Hall, designed and developed Mercury Innovation in collaboration with Visionect. The digital stops provide real-time bus arrivals, as well as capacity information, service notifications and any other relevant commuter information right at the stop.

The new bus stops displays are based on E Ink panels and are powered by solar power. This is Visionect and Mercury's second project, following the 2016 installation of solar powered e-paper traffic signs in Sydney.
