Bi-stable E-Ink delivers ultra-low power, high contrast, sunlight readability, and wide viewing cone with monochrome to 4-color options from 1.54 in to 8.14 in.

Overview

Polytronix offers Active-Matrix and Segment E-Ink displays for low-power product programs. E-Ink LCD technology is an ultra-low-power, high-contrast, sunlight-readable, wide-viewing-cone, and cost-effective display solution for handheld, battery-powered, and battery-less devices. Because E-Ink is bi-stable, the panel only consumes power when the image changes — the display holds its content with no power draw between updates.

We offer standard monochrome black-and-white options as well as multi-color variants in B/W/R (black/white/red), B/W/Y (black/white/yellow), and B/W/R/Y (black/white/red/yellow) configurations. If the application requires it, we offer touch panels and front-light technology as add-ons to any standard option (tooling cost may apply). Standard graphic-type solutions are available out of the box; custom designs can be developed against a host program's mechanical and resolution requirements.

The standard E-Ink family spans 1.54 in, 1.64 in, 2.13 in, 2.36 in, 2.66 in, 2.7 in, 2.9 in, 3.0 in, 4.2 in, 4.37 in, 7.3 in, 7.5 in, and 8.14 in sizes across 14 size families. Front-light availability and touch availability vary by family.

E-Ink Standard Part Numbers

Datasheet PDFs are distributed on request. Use the contact form and pre-select the Datasheets inquiry; we route the relevant family datasheets to your engineering team and your assigned buyer contact. Configurations outside the standard catalog are routed into custom-engineering for fit confirmation.

E-Ink Standard List

Standard E-Ink display modules organized by size family. Color-tier availability is marked per size; touch and front light are add-on options. No discrete part numbers appear in the legacy source.

Color legend: B = Black, W = White, R = Red, Y = Yellow.

X marks a color tier available in that size; a blank tier is not offered in the legacy source.

*Touch panels or front light can be added to any standard option; tooling cost may apply.

**Operating temperature by color tier: B/W 0~50C, B/W/R 0~40C, B/W/R/Y 10~40C.

Front Light "White" indicates a white front light is offered on that size; Touch "Yes" indicates a touch option is offered on that size.

Relevant Capabilities

Bi-stable ultra-low-power operation

E-Ink panels hold their content with no power draw between updates, drawing power only when the image changes. This is the defining property that makes E-Ink the standard choice for shelf labels, battery-less tags, and long-life IoT devices.

Monochrome and multi-color options

Standard monochrome B/W is supplemented by B/W/R, B/W/Y, and B/W/R/Y color variants for shelf labels, signage, and IoT applications that need limited color cues.
