The E Ink electronics ecosystem provides customers with a host of design components for quickly designing the electronics and firmware required to integrate an E Ink display into their products. Designers can leverage trained personnel and product ready reference designs to decrease the product time to market.

E Ink's ePaper displays (also known electrophroetic displays or EPDs for short) require special electronics to control and drive the screen. This design requirement is solved for the designer with the use of an EPD controller. EPD controllers are specialized ICs that have been specifically designed for this task. Because of the complete and simple design solutions they provide, they are one of the major reasons for the number of different eReaders that are found on the market today. There are two types of EPD controllers: discrete controllers or SoC (System on Chip) controllers. Discrete controller designs consists of dedicated electronics that have all the EPD controls hard wired into the design. SoC controllers are microprocessor based. They usually contain an embedded processor core in the IC and the EPD control functions are implemented through firmware that is developed by the IC supplier.

E Ink has partnered with major Semiconductor firms to build integrated power management ICs (PMIC) that are compliant with E Ink voltage requirements for E Ink based displays. PMICs solve the problems of a design needs to support the voltage and power requirements of an ePaper display.
