The digital signage landscape is evolving quickly as businesses, retailers, and smart cities look for energy-efficient, sustainable, and easy-to-install display solutions. In combination with E Ink’s ePaper technology and our partners, that vision is now a reality, offering truly wireless signage that eliminates wiring constraints, reduces energy use, and enables smarter, more flexible communication networks.

Why E Ink Technology Is Ideal for Wireless Signage

Unlike traditional LCD or LED displays, E Ink displays only use power when an image changes. This bistable display technology enables ultra-low power operation, which makes E Ink displays perfect for battery-free or wirelessly powered signage. Whether used in retail, transportation, real estate, or offices, E Ink displays deliver:

  • Exceptional energy efficiency
  • High readability in any lighting condition
  • Low maintenance and long lifespan
  • Flexible installation options, both indoors and outdoors

With E Ink, displays no longer need to be tethered to outlets or data cables, unlocking new possibilities for clean, sustainable, cable-free signage networks.

Powering and Integrating the Future of Wireless Signage

Wi-Charge’s infrared wireless power technology safely transmits energy through the air using invisible light to power devices several meters away. Paired with E Ink’s ultra-low-power ePaper displays, it creates a continuous, maintenance-free energy source, no cords, no batteries, no downtime—making wireless displays reliable and easy to operate anywhere.

Agile Display Solutions transforms E Ink’s sustainable display technology into wireless digital signage systems that operate entirely cable-free. Their proprietary design allows for fast, flexible installations featuring modular displays, wireless data and power integration, and cloud-based management. The result is a smart, efficient signage network that’s easy to deploy across any environment.
