Samsung Electronics has launched a 13-inch Color E-Paper display designed with a bio-resin housing derived from phytoplankton.

The paper thin display uses advanced digital ink technology and ultra low power to offer businesses a practical alternative to traditional printed signage, according to a press release.

"As businesses look for more flexible and efficient ways to communicate, Samsung Color E-Paper represents a shift in how digital signage fits into everyday operations," Hyoung Jae Kim, executive vice president of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics, said in the release. "By incorporating innovative technology such as phytoplankton-based bio-resin, we're demonstrating our commitment to advancing both display technology and the materials behind it. Our Color E-Paper products are designed to replace paper with ultra-low power performance and ultra-slim, lightweight designs."

As the smallest model in the Samsung lineup, the 13-inch Samsung Color E-Paper offers businesses a compact display option for shelves, counters, tables and doors where traditional paper signage is still widely used. Similar in scale to A4 paper, the display delivers 1,600 x 1,200 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
