ZERO Power Displays
Energy-efficient, sunlight-readable display solutions.
Energy Efficient Displays
Zero Power Displays are revolutionising the way we deliver visual information across outdoor spaces, public transport, smart homes, and retail settings. Using innovative ePaper and Cholesteric LCD (CH-LCD) technology, they represent a powerful shift toward more sustainable, energy-efficient digital signage.
By only consuming power when the content is updated, they are capable of operating for months or even years on a single charge.
- Zero power consumption when image is static
- Sunlight-readable
- Long battery life
- Availble with low MOQs
Colour Cholesteric LCD (CH-LCD)
A reflective, bistable LCD technology that retains images without continuous power, Colour CH-LCD delivers vibrant full-colour visuals without the need for a backlight, making it exceptionally energy-efficient.
- Lightening fast full-screen refresh in 200 milliseconds!
- Typical contrast ratio: 10:1
- Wide operating temperature range: -20°C to +60°C
- Available in 13.3", 24" (bar), 28.3” and 31.5" formats
- Available as display panel or in a fully enclosed unit, ready to go!
Perfect for ultra-low-power applications where colour visibility matters, including public information displays, retail promotions, and industrial labelling.
Sustainable paper-like display technology
Zero Power Displays are available in several formats to suit indoor and outdoor environments. All offer excellent readability in bright conditions, hold an image without power, and deliver a paper-like appearance.
E-Ink Spectra 6
A full-colour ePaper platform with a wider colour gamut and advanced imaging, ideal for high-impact retail and promotional content.
Monochrome ePaper
A crisp, high-contrast display that closely mimics printed paper, offering exceptional longevity, It's well suited to passenger information systems and shelf-edge labelling.
E-Ink Kaleido 3 Outdoor
A colour ePaper technology supporting 4096 colours and 16 levels of greyscale, making it ideal for maps, charts, and other visually rich outdoor applications.

A Truly Sustainable Technology
ePaper displays are significantly more environmentally friendly than traditional alternatives, producing up to 12,000 times less CO₂ emissions than LCD screens, and up to 60,000 times less than using paper.
By switching to low-power ePaper technology, retailers, advertisers, and public services can reduce their environmental footprint while still delivering dynamic, real-time updates with ease.
A smart step forward for organisations committed to sustainability, without compromising on performance.
Ideal Applications for Zero Power Displays
Shelf Edge Labels
Smart Pricing with Zero Waste
With paper-like clarity and no power draw when idle, e-paper enables digital pricing that’s easy to read, remotely updateable, and long-lasting -reducing waste and manual labour in retail environments.
Public Information
Always Visible, Always Efficient
e-Paper displays are perfect transport signage. They stay readable in direct sunlight, use no power between updates, and can run on solar -making them ideal for off-grid bus stops and transit systems.
Medical Patient Signage
Clear, Low-Power Room Info
ePaper displays are perfectly suited for hospital or care environments, displaying patient names, care plans, or room status.
Content remains visible without constant power, reducing energy use while maintaining a calm, readable bedside display.

Next level of energy efficiency
Unlike traditional LCDs, ePaper only consumes power when the image changes, thanks to its bistable technology.
Each pixel remains in a stable 'dark' or 'light' state without drawing energy, making it ideal for ultra-low-power applications. Advanced ePaper modules support up to 16 levels of greyscale or 7 distinct colours, expanding their use across more dynamic and visual applications.
Best of all, once content is updated, it stays on screen without the need for constant refreshing, allowing battery-powered devices to run for weeks or even months on a single charge.
A smart, sustainable alternative to traditional display technology.
