E-PAPER BENEFITS E-paper addresses some of the shortcomings of traditional displays by utilising the following attributes: • Power infrastructure → ultra low power requirements is the primary design principle to enable solar power as standard. • Remote locations → powered by a small solar cell in all weather conditions, enables deployment in remote bus stop locations. • Display visibility → high brightness, high contrast, no glare, 180 degree viewing angle in bright sunlight and can be fully illuminated in the dark. • Extreme climates → resistant to the harshest environmental conditions with low maintenance requirements.
