Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. today announced the global launch of its 32-inch Colour E-Paper (EM32DX model), expanding its portfolio of energy-efficient digital signage solutions. Featuring advanced digital ink technology, this latest model delivers ultra-low power consumption, high visibility and a lightweight design.

“Samsung is committed to pushing the boundaries of display innovation with solutions that enhance engagement while reducing energy consumption,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics.

Energy-Efficient Digital Signage With Vivid Colour

The new 32-inch Samsung Colour E-Paper operates at 0.00W¹ when displaying static content. With a fully charged integrated battery, users have the ability to install and use Colour E-Paper freely² without being connected to a power source.

Equipped with QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution, it leverages Samsung’s advanced colour imaging algorithm to optimize colour accuracy and readability. This optimization softens the edges of the image while creating smoother and more vibrant colours for an eye-catching display resembling traditional paper posters and retail promotional stands. For businesses, Colour E-Paper enables a seamless transition from printed materials to enhanced digital displays.

Slim, Lightweight and Easy To Deploy

Weighing only 2.5kg³ and measuring 17.9mm thick, the display has a thin design that allows for versatile placement on walls, tables and ceilings using the hanging accessories that come with it.⁴ With 13.9mm bezels on all sides, the display provides high usability in both landscape and portrait modes, while its VESA⁵ mount compatibility further expands installation options and enhances convenience for businesses. With two USB-C ports, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and 8GB of onboard storage, the display offers seamless integration for businesses to manage their content with ease.

Smart Content Management for Businesses

Available on Android and iOS mobile devices⁶, the dedicated Samsung E-Paper app allows users easy control to directly create content, schedule display times and set up content on Colour E-Paper devices. Additionally, the Samsung VXT⁷ (Visual eXperience Transformation) platform — which provides real-time remote control and intuitive content management of devices and effortless content creation — is now compatible with Colour E-Paper. This allows for centralized device management and smooth integration with existing supported signage products. Samsung VXT also includes a feature uniquely tailored for Colour E-Paper to optimize content visibility and a preview function to ensure colours are accurate before deployment.

For enterprises, Samsung VXT also supports real-time monitoring⁸ and centralized device management, streamlining content deployment across multiple locations. Powered by Samsung Tizen 8.0, businesses can integrate the display seamlessly into existing systems via Tizen Enterprise APIs.
