[Taipei, April 8, 2025] IRIS Optronics today announced its participation in the 2025 Touch Taiwan Smart Display Exhibition, echoing this year's theme, "Forward Together." IRIS Optronics is excited to reveal that it will join hands with domestic and international partners across various fields to showcase the diverse applications of its cholesteric liquid crystal color e-paper technology in outdoor advertising, smart education, smart healthcare, smart retail, and smart transportation. For many years, IRIS Optronics has been deeply involved in cholesteric liquid crystal color e-paper technology, accumulating over 200 global patents and establishing a strong technological barrier, making it a leader in this field. As display technology evolves towards low energy consumption, environmental friendliness, and high-value products, related technologies have also become important breakthroughs for the transformation of traditional panels.

Cholesteric liquid crystal full-color e-paper has a color display capability of 16.78 million colors. Its detailed and rich color rendering provides a reading experience close to paper, giving it an absolute advantage in replacing printed materials. The wide operating temperature range makes it suitable for extreme environments such as outdoor advertising displays and is ideal for long-term static displays. In addition, through the integration of optical technologies (such as solar energy and optical sensors), the product can achieve more diverse application visions.

IRIS Optronics aims to promote industry co-prosperity and assist the traditional panel industry in its transformation

Industry research indicates that the global LCD panel market has been experiencing oversupply and intense price competition in recent years, posing significant challenges and increasing operational pressure for traditional Taiwanese panel manufacturers. Concurrently, display technology is evolving rapidly. Traditional Taiwanese panel manufacturers missed the rise of OLED and are now facing competition from overseas panel makers increasingly shifting to AMOLED and QD-OLED, making the pressure for technological upgrades and industrial transformation even more urgent.

Cholesteric liquid crystal e-paper technology, as an emerging energy-efficient display technology, is making inroads into the market from a niche segment.It holds enormous potential for future market development. Its key advantage lies in the fact that it can be manufactured using existing LCD production lines, eliminating the need for additional large-scale capital investment in equipment. This significantly reduces the cost of transitioning to this new technology and facilitates the transformation of traditional panel manufacturers.Furthermore, amid the global trend toward a low-carbon economy, full-color e-paper—with its ultra-low power consumption and the advantages of traditional LCDs, such as true full color and wide temperature range—has become a key display technology for driving carbon reduction.According to 2021 statistics from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, if traditional LCD electronic signage were fully replaced with e-paper signage, carbon dioxide emissions could be reduced by 95% within five years, demonstrating the significant contribution of e-paper technology to environmental sustainability.

IRIS Optronics and its partners showcase full-color ePaper application scenarios, igniting a full-color e-paper revolution

IRIS Optronics will participate in Touch Taiwan 2025 Smart Display Exhibition, showcasing a variety of innovative application solutions alongside domestic and internationalcholesteric liquid crystal color e-paper technology partners. This exhibition is expected to feature key partners such as Changelon, Apacer, FuturEcom, Taichung Harbor Hotel, Kent Displays Inc. (KDI), and CREiST. Through immersive scenario applications, they will simulate the use of cholesteric liquid crystal color e-paper in diverse settings including outdoor advertising, smart education, smart healthcare, smart retail, and smart transportation. This will allow visitors to personally experience how cholesteric liquid crystal technology is changing the future display industry and explore the infinite possibilities of cholesteric liquid crystal color e-paper.

As cholesterol liquid crystal e-paper technology matures and market demand increases, Iridian will continue to drive technological innovation and work with partners to jointly launch a full-color revolution in e-paper technology, bringing more sustainable and efficient solutions to the display industry.
