How Epaper displays stay on when the power isn't

18/06/2021

E Ink signs will continue to display an emergency message even during prolonged power outages. What makes it possible is digital paper technology. Small particles within a thin film respond to electrical charges to form letters and graphics. Once those images are in place, they’ll stay there until a new charge refreshes the screen — just as ink stays on a printed page until you turn it. Zero power is needed to display a static image.

Here’s what this means: If the power is knocked out, whatever image is on screen will stay there indefinitely. Citizens can still see critical messages such as evacuation routes during outages that may last for days or weeks.
