E Ink and Chilin Technology Corporation announced a partnership today to bring E Ink displays to the marketplace. Chilin will be able to produce, distribute and sell vizplex E Ink imaging film. This joint effort combines Chilin's expertise in developing custom displays and turnkey solutions with E Ink's unique low-power, paper-like, sunlight readable, lightweight displays.
One target application for this effort is industrial controls or mobile industrial applications where the low-power and daylight readability qualities of an electronic paper display provide value. Another example use is shop owners struggling to manage in-store product price information in a timely and economical manner. Joint solutions in the electronic shelf label space support dynamic and accurate updates of in-store information displays.
