- Samsung introduces 13-inch colored e-paper for workplace signage
- Digital ink allows static images to remain visible without constant power
- The screen mimics the look of paper while delivering dynamic updates of digital content
Samsung Electronics has introduced a 13-inch color e-paper display, expanding its signage line with a compact device intended to replace printed notices in workplaces.
The device, called the EM13DX model, is roughly the size of an A4 sheet and is designed for use in environments such as retail counters, office spaces, hospitality desks and restaurant service points.
Samsung says the screen is meant to support “quickly changing operations” so that information can be updated without the recurring need to reprint physical materials.

Digital ink and content flexibility
The company says the display retains a paper-like appearance with the goal of re-creating the visual clarity of printed signs while transitioning to a digital format.
It relies on digital ink technology, which allows static images to remain visible without continuous power consumption.
This display only requires power when content is updated, a design choice that reduces ongoing energy demand compared to traditional displays.
This allows businesses to change menus, schedules or messages without replacing physical materials or relying on printed updates.
The system is also compatible with Samsung’s content management tools, including its mobile application and cloud-based platform known as Visual eXperience Transformation.
These tools enable staff to update content locally or remotely, depending on operational needs, while offering preview capabilities for layout and color accuracy before publication.
The 13-inch model expands a larger Color E-Paper range that previously included a 32-inch version.
The smaller size is intended to increase placement flexibility, enabling deployment in tighter or more varied locations such as doors, shelves and service counters.
In addition to the display and content system, Samsung Electronics states that the housing contains 45% recycled plastic along with 10% phytoplankton-based bioresin.
The company also claims that this composition can reduce production emissions compared to conventional plastic materials.
Packaging follows a similar approach, with paper-based materials used for boxes and protective components instead of plastic alternatives.
“Modern businesses need signage that keeps pace with rapidly changing operations,” said Jonathan del Rosario, Head of Product, Display Solutions, Samsung Electronics America.
“With the new 13-inch addition to our Color E-Paper range, Samsung delivers a compact display with ultra-low power consumption that is easy to install in high-visibility areas. Organizations can keep customers and employees up-to-date with the latest information without the added cost and effort of constantly reprinting materials.”
