ePaper Signage by CREA

CREA co., ltd.


ePaper displays offer a sustainable, digital alternative to traditional paper posters. With its paper-like appearance and ultra-low power use, ePaper signage is ideal for displaying static content in a more eco-friendly, efficient way. Unlike LED or LCD screens, ePaper reflects ambient light—making it comfortable to read, even in bright environments.

Japanese manufacturer CREA enhances this technology with sleek, slim-bezel displays that combine style with functionality. CREA’s ePaper Signage (EPS) supports both wired and wireless connectivity, including rare HDMI support for added flexibility.

Each display comes with a built-in content management system (CMS), allowing easy remote updates and control via the Cloud. Whether you’re using monochrome or color ePaper, CREA makes digital signage simple, sustainable, and smart.

The Technology - ePaper

What is ePaper?

Electronic paper (ePaper) is a display technology designed to mimic traditional ink on paper. Unlike LED or LCD screens, ePaper displays don’t emit light. Instead, ePaper reflects ambient light, which makes it easier on the eyes—especially in bright environments.

How ePaper Works

ePaper uses electrophoretic technology. It relies on tiny microcapsules suspended in a liquid layer. Each capsule contains black and white particles with opposite electrical charges.

When an electric field is applied, the particles move. A positive charge pulls the black (negatively charged) particles to the surface, making that spot appear dark. A negative charge does the opposite, bringing white particles to the top.

These microcapsules are arranged into pixels. This allows for precise control over what appears on the screen, from text to images.

Color ePaper

Color ePaper builds on the same idea. It adds extra layers of microcapsules, each with particles of different colors. Technologies like E Ink Spectra use this setup to display multiple colors per pixel.

Benefits of ePaper

ePaper displays reflect light just like printed paper. This removes the need for backlighting, which helps reduce eye strain and power consumption. They only use power when the content changes, making them ideal for devices like eReaders or digital signage.

One Standout Feature

One unique feature of ePaper is that it can “freeze” the display when turned off. Once the screen shows an image, it can stay visible without any power. You can unplug the display, and the content will remain until you plug it back in.
