Samsung’s Colour E-Paper Brings Ultra Low Energy Consumption and Flexibility

Samsung Colour E-Paper (EMDX model) redefines digital signage, digitising the traditional paper experience.

The transition from paper to digital in-store advertising solutions is gaining traction among retailers seeking to improve business efficiency.
