(Taipei, May 5, Central News Agency) — The 2026 Taipei International Computer Exhibition (COMPUTEX) is set to kick off on June 2. E-paper manufacturer E Ink Holdings announced that it will join forces with 40 upstream and downstream e-paper ecosystem partners to create an e-paper industry zone with a total area of 1170 square meters. Focusing on color e-paper and smart surface applications, it will showcase diverse innovations in large-scale display signage, color-changing vehicle bodies, retail media, consumer products, and aesthetic lifestyle scenarios.
E Ink issued a press release today explaining that e-paper, unlike general display technologies, features ultra-low power consumption, excellent visibility, and easy integration into different surfaces. From readers, e-notebooks, electronic shelf labels, bus stop signs, and public information boards to automobiles, advertising billboards, and lifestyle products, e-paper is gradually extending from a display interface to a smart surface, allowing objects to exhibit interactivity, emotion, and personalized value through changes in color, patterns, and information.
Johnson Lee, Chairman of E Ink Holdings, stated that this e-paper industry zone, centered on color e-paper technology, will showcase three major application themes: first, large-size color e-paper display signage, covering indoor and outdoor retail store advertising, digital out-of-home advertising, or public information board applications; second, color-changing e-paper smart surfaces, demonstrating the innovative possibilities of e-paper applications in automobiles, advertising media, and personalized consumer products.
Finally, aesthetic lifestyle and smart home applications will be featured, including e-paper digital paintings and photo frames, and various personalized display products, presenting the application value of e-paper combining low energy consumption, design aesthetics, and situational interaction.
E Ink stated that the 40 ecosystem partners will fully present the e-paper equipment industry chain layout, from key materials, TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) backplanes, e-paper modules, IC design, front light technology, and solar power supply to electronic shelf labels, e-paper signage, and system integration solutions. Participating ecosystem partners include Airoha Technology, TPK Holding, AUO Display Plus, BOE Technology, Elan Microelectronics, Fitipower Integrated Technology, Himax Technologies, Ilitek, United Radiant Technology, MediaTek, Netronix, Qualcomm, Realtek Semiconductor, Sharp Taiwan, and China Star Optoelectronics Technology, among others.
COMPUTEX 2026, themed 'AI Together,' focuses on AI computing and next-generation technologies. E Ink emphasized that with the rapid development of AI, the power demand for data centers and computing infrastructure continues to climb, making energy efficiency an undeniable challenge for the global technology industry; in the AI industry chain, terminal display equipment is one of the most frequent interfaces for human interaction with digital information. E-paper, with its bistable display characteristics, consumes power only when the screen is refreshed, which can effectively reduce the energy burden of long-term information display.
COMPUTEX 2026 will be held from June 2 to June 5, spanning Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 1 and 2, Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1, and Taipei International Convention Center. The exhibition scale will reach a new high, with a total of 1500 domestic and international companies using 6000 booths, fully building a 'COMPUTEX Tech Lifestyle Circle' covering R&D, manufacturing, and applications.
In addition, the 2nd 'E-Paper Industry Ecosystem Development Forum' will be held on June 3 at the 2nd floor of Taipei World Trade Center Hall 1. Topics will include trends in e-paper applications for digital out-of-home (DOOH) advertising, and sharing experiences from product design to mass production of retail media networks (RMN) and color-changing e-paper.
