Hsinchu, Taiwan- 18 June, 2012- E Ink Holdings, the leading developer and marketer of electronic paper display technologies, today announced that the company’s E Ink Pearl display and Oxide TFT display have been recognized as the “Best Component” for 2012 Gold Panel Award and the “Outstanding Photonics Product”, respectively. Meanwhile, Scott Liu, Chairman of E Ink Holdings, has been named “Outstanding Personnel Award” for his great contribution to the industry as a whole. The ceremony will be taking place at 10:30 am, 19 June, 2012 at Taipei World Trade Center Nankang Exhibition Hall.

Through the integration of the newly developed electrophoretic layer and driving methods, E Ink Pearl display provides a contrast range that’s 50% greater than previous products, giving eReaders a contrast ratio close to a paperback book, so text is more readable as it “pops” off the page. With E Ink Pearl, to update a page is faster than that of the previous technology. You can imagine such enhanced performance for applications such as eMagazines which frequently require higher update speed from page to page. In addition, E Ink Pearl supports localized animation for more advertising content in eNewspaper, eMagazines or eTextbook which you might have comfortable learning experience. More than 90% of ebook readers apply this technology. In 2011, E Ink Pearl display had been received IET and Techworld Awards.

E Ink’s Oxide TFTs have high electron mobility, thereby rendering them faster than conventional Amorphous Silicon TFTs. They are also superior to Poly-Silicon TFTs since E Ink’s Oxide TFTs use a simpler manufacturing process and require relatively less investment in capital infrastructure equipment. These features make E Ink’s Oxide TFT the ideal candidate for next generation display products. E Ink plans to incorporate its Oxide TFT technology to its Electronic Paper Displays that will offer higher resolution, faster page turns in eReader applications and enable entry into newer markets for electronic textbook devices in schools and paper-less office environment. This product will be shown at “Award-winning Region” during Display Taiwan 2012 (booth# M310).

Scott Liu has been recognized as outstanding personnel by all judges for his innovative ways of leading E Ink Holdings to become a leading company both in the fields of the small-and-medium TFT panels and epaper displays. These include the merge and acquisition of epaper display business unit of Philips, Hydis Technologies, and E Ink Corporation.

 “Thanks for the recognition on E Ink Holdings. If there is anything we have been achieving so far, this is originated from our corporate spirits, which include innovation, discipline, and teamwork. Innovation, in particular, has been the DNA of E Ink Holdings. This is embodied in the aspects of operation models, product development, technology research and development, and marketing and sales,” said Scott Liu, “We will keep on applying these spirits and strengthen our leadership in epaper industry.”
