[October 14, 2025, Chiba, Japan] IRIS Optronics, a pioneer in full-color cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLCD) display technology, today announced its latest achievements at CEATEC 2025, held from October 14th to 17th. The company will showcase its full-color display technology capable of withstanding an ultra-wide temperature range of -20°C to 85°C, while simultaneously releasing small-sized ultra-low power solutions, large-format tiled applications, and the newly upgraded Ming Display 2.0. Through the demonstration of a diverse product line, IRIS Optronics comprehensively presents the practical potential of e-paper in fields such as outdoor advertising, public information, and smart retail. This exhibition is not only a technological debut but also symbolizes IRIS Optronics's significant step towards a paperless era in the display industry, with "low-carbon environmental protection and technological innovation" as its core.

Global market demand drives e-paper into more application scenarios

As the global outdoor advertising market expands rapidly, the demands on display technology for clarity and reliability continue to rise. IRIS Optronics’ next-generation cholesterol liquid crystal displays can render over 16.78 million colors, with a color gamut coverage that surpasses the 70% standard for traditional poster printing. They remain clear even under intense sunlight while delivering vivid colors and energy-efficient performance for indoor applications.At CEATEC 2025, IRIS Optronics will showcase breakthrough developments in e-paper across three key areas: first, ultra-wide-temperature full-color displays that maintain stable performance under extreme weather conditions; second, large-format splicing technology that provides flexible solutions for outdoor advertising walls and large-scale public information displays; and finally, small-sized, slim designs with power consumption below 5 mW that comply with the IEC 62301 standard, extending applications to smart retail and indoor wayfinding.At the same time, the newly upgraded Ming Display 2.0 combines video playback and information display capabilities, enabling a single device to meet the diverse needs of transportation hubs, commercial spaces, and public areas, thereby further expanding the application boundaries of color e-paper.

On the other hand, to seize the electronic paper market in the sports industry, IRIS Optronics has recently joined forces with Sanko Industry Co., Ltd. of Japan. Related applications have already been showcased at the recently started Japan Professional Volleyball League, successfully attracting the attention of fans with its cholesteric liquid crystal technology, which highlights the excellent potential of cross-domain applications for electronic paper.

IRIS Optronics showcases technical strength at CEATEC

CEATEC, known as the "Japan's CES," is the largest and most influential annual IT and electronics exhibition in Japan, consistently attracting industry leaders, innovative companies, and government bodies from around the globe. Appearing on such an international stage is not just about showcasing products for IRIS Optronics; it's a symbol of being scrutinized and validated by the global market. For a Taiwanese startup without its own manufacturing facilities, being invited to exhibit and gaining the attention of the Japanese market highlights its breakthroughs in display technology and enhancement of brand visibility. This exhibition is more than just an opportunity to launch new products; it's a crucial moment to demonstrate corporate value, solidify technical trust, and deepen its potential for international collaboration.

Sustainable commitment drives e-paper towards a new generation of displays

Facing the challenges of global sustainability transformation, IRIS Optronics continues to drive the future of color e-paper with its core technologies of low power consumption, outdoor visibility, and reliability, advocating for a future where "technology and sustainability go hand-in-hand." Through the energy-saving and carbon-reducing characteristics of cholesteric liquid crystal technology, the company aims to gradually replace single-use printing, ushering the display industry into a truly paperless new era. Dr. Albert Liao, Chairman, stated: "We envision color e-paper not just as a display technology, but as a force that can drive industrial upgrades and realize our sustainability vision." In the future, IRIS Optronics will continue to collaborate with international industry partners to move color e-paper from concept to practical application, opening up new possibilities for digitalization and environmental sustainability.
