Philips Professional Displays announced they are in the process of launching several new large-sized e-paper displays in the coming months, Twice.com reported. The announcement was made by Martijn van der Woude, VP Global Marketing and Business Development at PPDS, at the Touch Taiwan event. This comes as the company is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of its partnership with E Ink.
“We are delighted to join our friends and colleagues at E Ink here in Taiwan, celebrating 20 years of partnership together while teasing our next innovations”, said Martijn. “We were the first global display manufacturer to recognise the incredible benefits and opportunities, including sustainability, available through ePaper. Unsurprisingly, others are now joining us on the journey, and we are delighted to have pioneered this path for the industry. Continuing our incredible partnership with E Ink, we are in a prestigious position where we will always aim for the next step ahead to be at the forefront of innovation.”
PPDS, however, didn’t reveal any details of the upcoming displays except that they would form the new evolutions of the Philips Tableaux range. The displays are going to be for both outdoor and indoor use and will be larger in size. At present, the Philips Tableaux range tops off at 32 inches. The Philips Tableaux 5150I at 32 inches was once the largest e-paper display ever made, though Samsung has since taken the lead with its new 75-inch e-paper display launched earlier this year. Maybe Philips will also have a display this big or maybe even bigger than that.
“At E Ink, we are proud to have continued our journey and our great relationship as a technology partner for Philips Professional Displays,” said Hui Lee, President of the E Ink Netherlands office. “Together with PPDS, our companies are based in both Europe and Taiwan, allowing us to collaborate closely as we advance this incredible ePaper technology. With a growing range – in number and size – of Philips Tableaux ePaper displays, together we are advancing our mission to deliver a more sustainable proposition for businesses around the world.”

With a keen interest in tech, I make it a point to keep myself updated on the latest developments in technology and gadgets. That includes smartphones or tablet devices but stretches to even AI and self-driven automobiles, the latter being my latest fad. Besides writing, I like watching videos, reading, listening to music, or experimenting with different recipes. The motion picture is another aspect that interests me a lot, and I'll likely make a film sometime in the future.
