ePaper passenger information display developer Papercast launched two new products, both based on 13" E Ink displays. These are battery-powered flag and compact displays, that Papercast says were engineered to meet the specific needs of bus stop flags in North America and Europe.

Papercast says that these displays can operate for 3 years, or even more, on a single battery charge. At the heart of this innovation is Papercast’s in-house developed advanced e-paper driver circuit board, that increase the power efficiency of the system.
