The driving waveform is embedded in the display’s chip-on-glass driver IC which removes dependence on external MCUs for timing control and thus simplifies the design of displays. According to the company, external component count is minimised which reduces costs, and one-time programming of the display driver ensures optical performance and reliability.
The e-paper displays, available in standard 2.15in, 2.87in and 4.2in versions, are designed for electronic shelf labels, and other commercial and industrial applications. Custom sizes, waveforms and interconnect configurations are also offered. All the displays feature patented panel breakage detection, which generates an alert signal if panels are damaged to minimise any loss of displayed information.
