 And we're here at SEATEC at the E-Ink booth. Hi. Hi, I'm Niximita, E-Ink Japan. And you are showing all the latest coolest E-Ink stuff. Here's a development kit for this is 32,000 colors. Yes, color e-paper. Color e-paper development kit solution right here. And you have many cool things, right? This is the RICO. What does it mean? This is a whiteboard. So this is a new smart whiteboard solution with OCR. So it recognizes your handwriting. Yes, it is. How big is the screen? 42 inches. 42 inch with a full, is it Wacom or what's the technology for touching? Your own implementation, right? And then you have a very good, what is its solution? What software? How do you do this? Well, this panel itself is from the E-Ink and we attached onto the handwriting such as you can draw whatever you want, just like a whiteboard. Very good contrast. Yes, it is. It's fully black and very white. It is. Just like a paper. Very fast response. Sure. And then what other things you have now in your software? Okay, now this is a page 11. You can write down to page up to 100 pages. Also, skip to page one is like this. Just skip onto the one. What is this document? This is a document. Every document can work? This has to be a PDF. PDF is okay. Is it Android or Linux or you don't say? This is just a prototype. This is. How soon maybe is? Next year. Middle of next year. Are you going to connect on the cloud and do collaborations and everything? We are planning to. So synchronization with cloud services? Yes, it will. And top security, no? Top security. Because a company don't want to share the secrets on the internet, right? So very, very nice. Front light? Not possible, right? No. But you can just have a. Natural light. Natural light. It's better for the eyes. Yes, it is. Exactly. It's better for concentration, for brainstorming. It is. All right. And how's the price? Hopefully good. We are planning to 35,000 yen. 35,000 yen. Is this? I'm sorry. I don't know how many zero you have. So that means how much dollars? $3,000? 3.5K. Yeah. All right. I hope you sell millions. Thank you. You should buy it. And it's going to be Ricoh brand? It will be. Yeah, Ricoh consumer brand. Cool. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thanks. And here you have this really cool collaboration. This is a new brand called Linfini. What is Linfini? Linfini is the joint venture between Sony semiconductor and E incorporation. We do the e-book development in Japan. And so these are the new devices that you have right here. So this is 13.3 inch. 13.3 inch. E-note. Made by Linfini. And the weight is very good. Very light. Very light. This is the 9.7 inch. 9.7 or 10.3? I'm sorry. 10.3 inch. 10.3 inch. Very light also. OK. And what is this? Just right. Just right technology. Which you're going to check out just after, right? So this is the new, this used to be ready for input. Yeah. We're going to do, later in the video we're going to talk about this just right. So this is a pad that potentially could be for sale also? Yes. It will be on sale next year? Next year. It's quite light. Just right technology. Does it record anything? Or it just, we'll check about that just after. All right. So let's check out right here. This device. And hey, so who are you? My name is Richard. From what company? From Rata. Rata. Rata Smart Technology. And you have two devices here? You have this size, this size? Yes. Can you show? So what is this device? This is a Supernote A5. Which is about a half of A4 size. And it has a note taking? Yes. Note taking, you can take note here without delay. And with 4096 degree pressure. Sense? So high integration of the pressure sensitivity? Yes. What is your OS running here? It's not Android, no? Yes, it's Linux. Can you show more of the UI? What is the word? We have UI here, sorry. Should I change it to English? Yeah, I can change it to English. So it's English now. So this is our menu. It's like a side menu? Yes. We have a document. It's for ebook reading. And the notes will not take in the summary. And you can make memos in your ebooks. Or file PDF files. And also you can send e-mail. And you can use a calendar function to make schedule. Then we have a smart writing. Which has OCR. Can you show the smart writing? Yes. Yes, I'm writing. So... English, it works? Yes. In English, we have Japanese kanji, English, and Japanese characters for English. All right. And other functions on the side. Do you have a synchronization in the cloud or something? Yes. Synchronization function. Where do you synchronize? With what? With your PC. On the PC? Yes. Your synchronization system? Synchronization system. Over here? Actually, no. Actually, you log on. That's... First, you need to reduce the line. Then you have an account. Yeah. And you can synchronize with Google Drive? Microsoft? Or just the computer? We are working with Google. We are working on it. And so far, it's our exclusive cloud service. On your cloud? Yes. Supernote cloud. So you can use the laptop and the phone on the same system? Yes. You can register through your mobile phone or by email. So you can synchronize your cloud and upload, download the data. Nice. How much is the price for this? The price, the A5 is 599 US dollars. 599 and this small one is 399. Nice. And for sale since when? Since this May. Since May? Yes. Alright. In Japan, we sell through Amazon Japan. Rakuten? Rakuten, not yet. Not yet. But for global, our business partner is a Korean reader. These guys here? Yeah. I hope they'll link to this video. Yes. Maybe. Yes. Alright. Cool. Are you planning to do a big one? 13.3? Actually, we are working on different models but still some secret. Sure. Different sizes. You have some cool secrets in the office? Yes. We have some black technology. Black? Yeah. Still? No, no, no. Super secret. Alright. No, not super secret. This is 599 dollars, right? Yes. Alright. You already sell many? Yes. We are the best seller in Korea. And very popular in the States, North America. Cool. Alright. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thank you. Cool. And what are you showing around here? This is the... This is the what? This is the e-paper bus signage by an Italian company called GDS. And this is Mr. Iseki, who is in charge of this product. Hi. So what are you working with? You are doing all the type of digital signage kind of stuff? Yes. Actually, we are doing the business with GDS, the Global Biff Resolution. This is the GDS. GDS is from Italy? Italy, yes. Italian company working on developing e-ink device. That's right. This is a 13.3 inch bus stop machine. Bus stop. Yeah, mainly bus stop. So it is for the public signage solutions. It has the IP67 search, protected by vandalism cover. Is this on the market in Japan or everywhere in the world? Where can I find this bus stop? Yeah, actually in Europe, there are some bus companies using this one. Which country? That's Germany and Italy and Britain. Really? Yes. So many or just few? I think it's starting to... Nice. Because when I go to my bus stops in Copenhagen, I see some e-ink device. But it's potentially maybe them or maybe another company. Yes, some companies are doing the similar products. But the clarity from the GDS products, it's very, very good. There's also a vision X, right? But you work with them or you only work with GDS? We are working on there with GDS only. GDS only. And what is this one? This is from my e-ink. This is the e-ink of the... Bar display by e-ink, 28.3 inch. We target transportation signage. Nice. Is it open market? It's not in the market, yeah. We're in the sample stage. And promoting this module. How much is the bus stop? What's the price for one bus stop? Maybe you don't say like this, right? You collaborate with city governments or bus companies, right? I think we have to say... We have to say 200 kilo yen or 300... Yeah, kilo yen. Kilo yen. Yeah, depends on the... $2,000, $3,000 for one or something. That's right, that's right. What is this? This is the same configuration but it's larger. So 31.2 inches displays. So it has also the IP67 casing. And also it has the front right for the night time. Nice. So all the weather is okay? Yes. You've been to a very big store. I hope so. It's not going to happen again in a big store. All right. And then we go around here. He's going to explain. Hi. This is Victor. Victor, can you explain? Are you just right? Okay. So what is just right? This is our new technology. It's compared to previous e-paper, e-PD. We don't have the TFT and IC. It's just in the film. It's tiny and it's flexible. So this is great for note-taking. Yes. You can show it refresh with this? Yes, that's a refresh. And that cleans it off? Yes, it cleans the whole page. Right now that's our solution. How many? It blinks two times. All right. For one second or something? Yes. So you can use your pen. This is a thicker one. Yes. So the writing will be thicker. But you can use the thinner one. The writing will be thinner. So the writing performance will depend on you. Nice. Nice. It's very, very, very quick. Yes, quick and cost effective. Nice. Cool. And we support not only white, but also the black one. Can you show it? Right now? Yes. So welcome. Nice. Nice. And then you refresh? Yes. I can change it to white background. The white one? Yes. And then the contrast, this is the latest generation of contrast you have, right? This is the new product we have still in sample stage. But we are available to sell the module. And then the black? Is this black? No, that's white. The other one is black. Black? Yes. And then let's write something more. Okay. This looks really good on the black background. This is the small pen? This is the big one. The big one? Yes. So you're pushing every e-ink pixel. How does it work? Can you show this? So what are you doing with the e-ink to make this work? Right now, originally, we have a white black pigment inside the capsule. And the new technology just right is missing the magnetic powder inside the pigment. No magnetic powder? The magnetic powder. So you take it out? No, inside. There is also. It's mixed together with the pigment. And then when you push, is it magnetic push or is it physical push? How do you change the color? Okay. When you're writing, it's a physical mechanism working. So it's just a mechanism. How is making it turn? That's the magnetic magic. Nice. But if you're writing that you want to clear, it's an original e-paper working. Apply the voltage so it can be pushed back to an original space. Nice. This is cool. Is this related? It's just printed. We call it just printed. It's an original design from HP. So we got a license. We got a license from HP. So we produce the machine and the car. But which part is printing? Sure. This area is all income material. We call it the API, right? So this machine is the part we produce. When we put a car here inside, look at the window, the counter will be erased. You can see it will be blank and then rewrite. So this car will be... You just change the whole content? Yes. So the content can be repeated again or you can assign a new content. And this car, also the print media, is reusable, rewritable. So it can more than 1000 types. Nice. And it can have RFID in there or something? Yeah. After we integrate the IP ID, you can get more higher security or something, more applications. Nice. Yeah. What could you do to have even more contrast? Is it possible? Yeah, we are still working on the contrast ratio. So we have some map to improve the contrast ratio. All right. Especially when it's white. I mean, it's very visible, but it'd be nice to have even more darker black here, right? I agree with you. So we are working on that. Somehow. All right. Really cool. Is it possible to have even bigger pens? Yeah, sure. What size? Sure. We can make larger ones as marker pens. Nice. Cool. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thank you. So what are you showing here? Just tint. Oh, you also marked with this? Yeah. What is this? It's me again. So just tint is also our new technology. Sorry, my phone. This one. Yeah. Okay. This thing, in the film, we don't have the white pigment inside. Only the black one. So the one we can, you can see the black one is the, because it's just practically in the font. So this is for making. It's a transparent like a tint. The windows. You can show here? Yes, I have a window changing. Yeah. Can you show it? Yeah, it's working on that. What's this? Not yet. It's working on that. Okay. So you can see we have a transparent and a black one. And because the film only has a black pigment inside, no white. That's a reason we can make it transparent. So this is full transparency in the font now? Yes, it's a much much transparency. And here is fully dark. Very dark. Yeah. And you can switch again. So we change it from transparent to dark as quick. About three seconds. Three seconds. That's the same darkness now? Yes. So you can see the demo. The light is stable. That means it's already stable. But when we push the tube transparent, it takes about 14 seconds or something. Yeah. So it's working now. It's blinking. That means it's working. Maybe you can see later. So it's pulling out all the pigments away or turning them away? Yeah. Make the pigment like this way in one line. In one line. So like you can do through. Yeah. So it's half transparency or full opaque? The transparency can be controlled by our board. You cannot do full transparency, right? Because it's still really half of the pigments, right? Yes, yes, yes. That's really a full transparency. But many office windows want to be not more transparent than that? Agree. But due to the material, the pigment inside, we are not able to do 100%. Yeah. All right. Is this on the market? Sorry? Is it on the market? Not yet. Still a sample stage. And all this just area, just right, just print, just tint is new? Yes. Like within the last few months? We just announced a couple of months ago. Couple months ago. Cool. All right. Thanks a lot. Thank you. Thanks. And there's many more things around here. Let's check. Let's check there. That's pretty less tags. So this is probably the largest market for E-Ink today, no? The largest market for E-Ink today is ESL, electronic chip label. Is it something like this? But these are the tags for logistics. We call them logistics tags. That's pretty less. Using the E-Ink display module. No battery. No battery inside. How do you update them? So this is the reader-writer by a company called Denso Wave. The top tier Japanese reader-writer company called Denso Wave. And how do you update it? So what do you do? Can you show? Yep. Okay. We will transfer this data to the tag. Please watch this. Does that mean it's actually sending power to it at the same time? Yep. So this is wireless power? Yes. But through the RFID technology? Yes. Yes. The power, right? Sorry. Maybe because I moved it or something like that. So all this is part of this technology, but it takes a little while to update or? It takes about maybe five seconds. Five seconds. All right. So this could potentially be automated or all these can update, right? Yes. Can you do any of these? We never tried. You try this? Put you too. But the electronic shelf label market right now they have small batteries and they update through radio because it's possible to integrate small battery. But then the label is a little bit bigger, right? These are small batteries. Nice. How do you update them? No. What's the best way to update in the store right now? Well, some of the gigahertz wireless. And then they have some machines somewhere by the desk and maybe keeps constantly updating during the day. Well, it depends on the radio stores. Yeah. They do what they want. And you're probably shipping hundreds of millions of these, right? Yes. Because it's one of the cool things to go to a store where the price is changing. Maybe the price is changing for every customer that enters the store. Yes. Based on how much Coca-Cola I drink, the price will go up. Yes. Now it's possible to change. Okay. Can you change to ink? Yes. Okay. There's no battery here. There's no battery inside. How is it capturing the power? How is it capturing the power? How is it capturing the power? How is it capturing the power? Yeah. It's a wireless signal. Wireless signal is sending power. Yes. All right. And here's a lot of... Like you were showing in the beginning of the video, this is the development kit for 13.3 inch full color. What is included here? Can you show? This is the control of the... Yeah. Can you hold this? So there's the ink logo on the chip. Is there? What does that mean? Does that mean ink is also developing some chips and some controllers? Basically, yes. So this is maybe an arm chipset or something like that. And then by the connector, somehow it can update this one. It's also compatible with one of these development boards that is maybe part of the development solution. And then you have a lot of development kits here. Which one is that? This is the 1.43 inch flexible module using the software timing controller. This is the round 1.1 inch. With a smartwatch market? Yes. How many smartwatches do you have? Maybe a GPS watch by Epson using the same 1.1 inch module. That's beautiful. So the battery is probably pretty good, right? I think this lasts for about maybe almost two weeks after you charge the battery. And it's updating every minute to your screen? Yes. And here's another one. Is it the same? This is the display controller by Seiko Epson. Epson does the controller. Nice. And you support the ink module. And this whole time you were wearing this badge. What is this badge? Small badge using the color ink. So this is actually color ink technology. Yep. And there's like a way to update the content right here. And then it's a very bright badge. It looks really good. This is the same color technology you have right here? Yes. So 32,000 colors, right? Yes. And it takes how long time to update? It takes about 18 to 20 seconds. And here we have the New York Times color. So it's great for kind of like digital signage. Or digital art? Digital art is great for advertising. It looks really cool. And it's digital. And it's color. And it's probably beautiful to have this outside doors. So outside the museum should definitely be a bunch of these. Or outside anything. Or inside too. All right. This is the world largest e-papers. The size is 42 inches, right? And we are a clear company producing this as a signage, EPD signage module product. Of course, this is an e-paper. That's fine. The only, you know, the power supply needed for the change of data. But after that, if they plug out the power out, still the picture is keeping. This is one of the features of the e-papers. And there are 42 inches as well as 32 inches. And as you can see this, this is a manga picture. But normally, e-papers such as Kendo, such kind of e-paper product, only one page at one time changes. But this can be a little bit different. The partial update will be available. As you can see, like this and that. This kind of display. You can partially update. Yes. Nice. So it's perfect for manga cartoons kind of things. Yes, yes. And on the other side, you know, change the data timing will be 0.1 second, right? That's fine. Free cartoon display also available. Of course, the e-papers cannot appear. Is this a big deal in Japan? Is this a big deal in Japan? People love cartoons, right? Yes. At this moment, not only in Japan, but also that we are selling this product under the e-ink website. And then... It's a sale. Yes, sales. That's fine. How much is the price? The price is up to the e-ink website. Yes. How much is the price of this one also? Actually, in the website, it's 32 inches, 3,000. And 42 inches, 4,000. In the e-ink website. All right. And it's possible to buy one. No need to buy four, right? And only one. Yes, yes. That's most customers just buy one, no? It depends. Some of the customers, some of the customers would like to display the big, you know, big wall. In this case, for example, the last month, the Mauritian customers bought six pieces for one big wall, like this kind of tiling. And where did they put it? Did they put it outdoors? Did they put it in the window facing out? But basically, this product is indoor specifications. Indoor. Indoor. But, you know, some of the customers would like to display it outdoors. In this case, They could put it by the window. By the window or outside. For example, the bus stops. And also the... You work with bus stops also? In this case, in this case... Sorry? You work with the bus stop also? Yes. For example, Okinawa. Okinawa Island. We already launched the product. Okinawa, Naha City, Midtown, Midtown of the bus terminal. Big bus terminal. Nice. We installed this 32 inches for the bus stop. Nice. Outdoor. Where is your company based? Sorry? Where is your company based? Our company based in Tokyo, Kanda. So, you focus a lot on the Japanese market? At this moment, mainly the Japanese market. But in case of the... Yeah. Overseas? Yeah. Overseas, you know. Sales with ink web shop. And also, we distribute... Distributors in Marabun and Takebishi. Nice. Which one is that? The... Yeah. The ones over there. And Japan loves ink, no? It's true? Yes, of course. Because of the ink, you know, producing the display. But the very special display, totally different from the LCD and LED, right? And it's beautiful outside. Yes. And even the sunlight in the window outside, this is the reflective type. That's why it's very easy to see. And also, there is no backlight. That's why it's safe for the eye, you know. There is no blue light. Is there any chance you can have one that you cannot see the separations? Can you make the bezel a little bit smaller? Actually, come on. Yeah. This is a display. But each display has this kind of circuit in the around, right? It's required. And also this kind of, you know, circuit, you know. It's required. That's required. That's why we need this fit and also this one, like an inside. Of course, you know, we like to fit like this, but in between, this kind of circuit is around. That's why... How about what's inside here? This one is... Okay. This is a battery. And as you can see, there is no AC plug, right? Yeah. There's an AC, but battery-driven. How many years it can last on batteries? For example, this button... How long? The battery? Actually, this battery can last, you know, the day before yesterday, the seat was started, right? Yeah. And today is the third day, right? Not a single charge. How long does it take to work? Two weeks? Maybe. It depends on the contents. How many times you refresh, right? And where's the PCB, the system? The system itself is inside here. It is inside. And also the OS is Android OS. Yes. This equipped Android OS. That's fine. If the customer already has the Android application itself, in this case, the customer can install the application itself and operate the application. Right? So, basically, you can send the content to it directly from a phone or from a laptop or something. Perhaps you can send the content and reply it. This interface, this has the interface of the HDMI and also the LAN connections and also the SD card or USB memories. That's fine. Even the PC connection or whatever, LTE, right? From the remote operations can be possible. Is the color, is your product also? At this moment, black and white only at the moment. But you're thinking about it, right? We're thinking about it. This is the color one, right? Yeah. This is the color one. But is your company, you know? This is ink. This is ink. But potentially, you could have this product. Actually, we already bought this kind of color patch version as a sample base that, at the moment, honestly speaking, this still has some, not a problem. We have to make study because, you know, changed data takes 20 minutes at the moment. 20 seconds. 20 seconds, 20 seconds, 20 seconds. That one is, as I say, 0.1 seconds. Ah, 0.1. Totally different, right? All right. That's why we already produce as a product. But the color version is still under development at this moment. All right. This is totally different. But even black and white, black and white is, how to say, looks cool, right? Perfect. It's cool, right? Yeah. I hope you sell many, millions. How many that you cannot say. But it's growing market, right? Hope so, yes. All right. Because Japan is big country, but also the world is big world. Yes. So big potential for everybody to get this kind of stuff. That's right, right, yes. All right. Cool. Thanks a lot. Yeah, thanks a lot. All right. Thanks for the tour. Thank you very much. A lot of cool technologies right here in Japan. These are all the latest E-Ink applications. Japan is very important market for E-Ink, right? Absolutely. And we have many customers calling us, so I think we can grow the business with all these partners. Thank you very much.
