E Ink, the most (and pretty much only) e-paper technology, has been used for years as the display of choice for e-readers. Following the stagnation of the e-reader market, E Ink Holding is struggling to find more application for its e-Paper displays, with initial success in electronic shelf labels and signage applications.
Low-power digital display solution provider Visionect has developed a conference room management system based on E Ink displays, which they call the JOAN meeting room scheduling solution. This is a wireless and battery-powered device that is easily installed (no cables required) and that provides a beautiful and useful solution.
Visionect says that since the launch of the JOAN series last year it has signed on over 1,600 customers in North America alone with thousands of devices deployed worldwide. This is a great example of a niche application for an innovating display technology.
Visionect is celebrating the end of 2017 and the company is offering a 6" discount on its JOAN family of E Ink signage displays - the 6" JOAN Manager, 6" JOAN Executive and 13" JOAN Board. Visionect also offers free shipping. To enjoy this discount, use the coupon code HELLO2018 when you checkout.
