 So we're here at the e-ink. So who are you? I'm Giovanni Mancini. I'm the head of global marketing for e-ink and Let's give you a little tour of our booth and the different products that our customers have developed using our e-ink technology So here we are seeing a couple of cool devices here, right? Let's let's start off with the Yota phone this Yota phone was Started production in December. What's cool about this product is that it has an always-on display This is an e-ink screen in the back and The idea here is that you have information sources that are important to you that you're trying to keep track of. It's a normal LCD here So it's a normal right. It's a normal LCD in the front. And some interaction between the two. This is where the standard Android and when you want to Track some information you attach that to the back. What's great about this integration is that it also has an Android mirror mode so that I can actually attach The and the Android function to the e-ink display. What's great about this is if I launch the Kindle app I can actually get into my Kindle library and Read my Kindle books So it's a touch curve flexible e-ink back Touch curve this user ink Mobius display It's a 4.7 inch curved display and it's awesome right here in this lighting or under the sun Outdoors it'll look great under any lighting Nice, this is this is beautiful e-ink display. So this is a mass production now This is a mass production app. You can actually go to the Yota devices website and order one. It's also available throughout Europe and other different markets I think it's even put in his official phone Right. Well, I don't think it's put in the official phone, but he gave one to China He gave one to the the president of China when he visited China It's the most popular video my channel right now last couple months lots of lots of russians and every every kinds of people checking it out Charbacks, you know, you would know best about that walking through. I'd like to show you some other products that we have here Here we have Racheek from our business digital signage business unit. He'll talk to you about our 32 inch display So these are our large area this face. Yeah, 32 inches in size So these are really designed with the digital signage market in mind So we think has focused is now focusing on Diversifying its business and we think that signage and digital signage is one of the key areas because of the unique properties of being and the value that provides to the digital signage market So this is an example of a black and white 32-inch display It has a quad HD resolution What do you say? What HD quad HD resolution? That's that's like this resolution right here 2560 by 1440 All right So we have what can it be used for? There are multiple applications if you think about it So oftentimes you go to a train station or a bus stop what? You see a lot of information that's provided to you It's sometimes as digital sometimes it's static So the idea is to take the static signs and digitize Because we think is so low power and this can be like the Train station right here example about exactly. So this is our famous station in Boston the south station So you can get information about when trains are arriving You could have like maps which tell you where you have to go when your next train is arriving And doesn't just have to be in train stations, but it could also be on buses Bus stops inside a bus. So this is 32 inch black and white 32 inch color. Yes So this is in color and this is also the same resolution. It's the same resolution as the back in white and We have it in full color so Color right so the benefit of providing full color is that often you need to highlight certain information When for example as a red line as a blue line and trains so you can highlight that And the other unique thing that being brings is it allows you to put signage where it was previously Not possible because it is so low power It can be powered off of a battery or it could be solar powered So you don't need to bring in a lot of power infrastructure In order to power our science an extremely well visible in sunny area absolutely So these can be some of our stops exactly. It can be deployed indoors as well as outdoors can be a Waterproof it can be so we partner with various companies Gds, which is an Italian company is one of our partners in signage and break proof maybe exactly that This way that this system is actually designed is IP 65 rated So it's waterproof and that's proof and also this is a rugged glass on the front If people throw something on it, it might not break. It will not break. You'll not break It will not break and you can make bigger ones So this is just the beginning of where we are. So we have your launching with the 32 inch I mean the technology certainly suppose going to bigger sizes as well. So this is real product. It's a real product People can buy it now. So we are Distributing samples customers who are interested they can work with us and you can arrange for samples or this product All right, but they're not like a retail pricing yet or something No, we are around detail pricing right, and it doesn't run Android or up. So this is like a display So in the back and you can run any operating system on it could be hdmi It could be serious over USB or ethernet It could be powered by Android by windows. So really it's just a system It's just a window to your content and how you're sending the content to it is really up to you So we'll see you everywhere soon. I'm sorry. We'll see you in everywhere. Yes. Yes, that's the expectation Let's go around this side because this one is much for shake so moving along with that This is another area that where ink has been very big and had a lot of growth in What you see behind me is electronic shelf tags that are used for pricing information in store shelves This is a system that is deployed by our partner called display data They provide electronic shelf tags for brick-and-matter stores. It gives you kind of a unique channel An omnichannel a solution to pricing So with a pair of lithium cells these these shelf tags will last about two to five years And you have the small one the bigger one we have also have Version where you can actually use with the expector so you actually have red in there as well This is a smaller version and it's a very bright red. It's a very bright red because using our spectral technology It actually has a pigment in the micro cups So that is actually red pigment as opposed to so the consumer can easily see where the deals are with the Red color see whether the deals are the red color They can also see that the easy see the pricing with our larger four inch displays And there's also a six inch display that they can use Within the within the store the merchants started to merge these these spectra was launched in SID 2013 and these tags we've been shipping them. We shipped about 10 million of them in 2013 we shipped about over 20 million in 2014 and expect to see a significant growth In 2015 as well. So you just launched recently. There's already 30 million of them out there. Well in the past few years Yes, that's crazy. That's how that's a big quantity does that means they're in supermarkets. There are some words there in supermarkets They're in retail stores They're in many places about Europe Asia and the US as well How long is the battery life on one of these I'm using standard standard usage You probably expect about two to five years and a pair of lithium cells to change the price How often basically probably change about once a day You could change once a day if you change the less it'll last with five years or something All right, and the big one's similar We have just have larger lithium cells in here or you know, basically EA only uses power to change the actual pigment that is That is changing at the partners that are selling these is there a public retail price for some of those Well, people have to buy them in bulk for the whole store They should contact our partners either display data or the other partners that we deal with in the ESL market for pricing on the products It's cheaper than going around and changing the prices It is cheaper to go in on changing the prices, but more important It actually makes you more competitive against the e-commerce website because now you're going to have more agile merchandising strategies you can respond to the pricey changes of your competition so that You know, you're not stuck with the price for a few weeks when your competition is changing their prices on a daily basis And it refreshes the prices through what kind of radio in this case is actually using Zigbee But other networking technologies can be used as well. So Zigbee is for the whole store kind of nearly well It's Zigbee to these so that's kind of far away. It's a hundred meters or something It could cover the entire story basically depends on you push about me can update everything push a button You can update everything. That's that's really cool. And hopefully it's not gonna update the price based on on who's Walking in the store and I would get cheaper prices than some other guy We will leave merchandise they want to do the actual retailers themselves. All right, so what kind of stuff are you showing? So moving along over here This is what we have is our concept products area. There's a number of concept products that were showcasing different from Some of our customers. This is a system called Vecora from a company called Powercast What Vecora is is a series of Displays that allow you to attach it to smartphones and and then from wherever you are in the world Update or send messages to to these displays So here's a case where it's been attached to the backpack of a child and using a smartphone You can send messages to your child. There is the same number making you up in five Don't forget to bring home your homework. How does it connect to the web? So it actually connects to the web by basically pairing to a smartphone that you have through Bluetooth so this way, you know The child is not required to actually look at the phone. You can update more importantly. You can also attach portraits So for example, you can give this to the grandparents and at random times send new images of their grandchildren So they can walk it walk it looks nice It looks like a it looks like a great black and white picture right now But that's because there's an effect or something. Well, how's the resolution here? Resolution is very good. Basically the high resolution of our product You know the fact that it's black and white has to do with the lighting conditions. It's like it's like print It is exactly like print. That's what he papers known for dynamic printing dynamic printing So every day you have a new picture on the every day or every hour depending on how long but this is just prototype It's not kind of like shipping yet. So this is a it's actually on Kickstarter right now So you can go to Kickstarter and look for vikora and to subscribe to that. Let's go check it out Let's put the link below the video. There we go. What's going here? This is another product by company called vision act out of Slovenia. It's called Joan It's a conference immune system that's tied into Microsoft Outlook or Google Calendar So this basically allows you to do is take these displays attached and outside your conference room wall and See, you know, what is the conference from booked? Who's it booked by what's great about this is because it's using any display can be battery powered So you can simply attach these to the wall. You don't actually have to run power into the wall So it's touch full touch Calendar and basically I don't want to go to Time to meet and then I say I don't want to go to this one. So I Stuff like that. Exactly. Is this real? This is real You could actually go to the vision act website and in order it right now. Nice. It's a nice lot clocks So also showcasing some of our technology. This is a company called Kinbell. They make clocks They're out of Taiwan where they build You know clocks that you put on the wall as you can see here. You actually have a circular ink display Something that you can't you can't deal with other technologies, but it's really beautiful But it's just showing the the time like this. That's it. It's an analog clock It's not, you know, if they want a very, you know, simple elegant clock and our technologies But every minute it moves. I just saw it move right here. Well, every minute or in this case It's actually bring a bit faster just to showcase the fact that it moves. Yes Is this real or not yet? That is real. You can buy it too. Well, you call contact Kinbell. All right with that This is the core of your market, right? This this is this you've sold tens of or hundreds of millions of those We've sold tens of millions of these. These are displays for e-readers. This is the latest Kindle the voyage This is the Kindle voyage. So that's the that's the best E-reader ever it's it look it's pretty cool. So let's let's check some crazy new stuff that you have around here and In terms of the big announcement for CES is our ink prism product Okay ink prism is Ink moving into a completely new product type of product line a completely new market and Here with the ink prism. I'll introduce you to Joe who talked to you about Prism hi, so ink prism is our new product and it is designed for architecture the product can be Laminated or integrated with just about any product available out there in the architecture market We're working with designers architects and and fabricators to create new experiences for people in public spaces similar to like Hotels lot hotel lobbies Probably I would say the outdoors of buildings not outside at this point not outdoors So we'll start this one over so we have hotel lobbies transportation centers like airport terminals corporate lobbies Public spaces like hospitals in areas like that where you can have a very interesting Piece of architecture that would be great different experience. What does it have to be indoors? Is it not waterproof or what is it? We have we are because we have just launched it We have not done enough testing to prove out that it could be outdoors. So this is one of them This is one of them here. Yes. Can you carry it around? Can you show? Sure can. So what's going on here? so This is a concept design that we created just for this show in here what we did is we laminated a Acrylic or polyurethane tile and We sandwiched the film between Yeah, we sandwiched the film between a printed circuit board and the top plane And we aligned the printed circuit board with the top plane to create a very interesting Dynamics so when you put it into a tiled wall you can create a number of different Experiences on the wall. So it's using E-ink Pearls. Yes all over the place. Yes, but they have to switch on off. So what does it work? Yes So it's working exactly the same as traditionally in products But instead of what most people understand ink as with a display what we're doing it is segmented So each one of these segments is its own As you could call it a pixel. So that means you can have a Bright far away view or what is it? What does it do to have a segmented like that? While we can do it the segmentation is you can create create different interests So here we have polygons, but there's nothing stopping you from designing with squares circles stripes lines Dashes, however you want to do it. You can even do company logos. How can you get it done? You contact ink contact the ink and we'll work with the designer and you start talking about the design You have designers you have helpers that can get it done. Yes We are working with designers and architects that can help the end customer bring this to their market Which colors? Today for this for this show. We designed it with two colors obviously here red and white But it's all on the pigment and there's nothing stopping you from Designing it with other colors, but we're working on that which colors can be blue black anything Well because it is with pigments. It's limited by the pigments that you choose All right, so you choose some just color all the pigments, whatever you want. Well works Not exactly not exactly We've chosen red and white pigments here, and if we were to use another pigment we'd have to choose a different pigment and it can blink constantly for how long Well, this this is design This is this is wired into the wall and this is the program that we chose so that it'll blink or it'll change or switch It doesn't use so much power It does not use power in fact if you look and you pan down to this table here This is one on a double a but on double a batteries So there's double a batteries in there. Yes, and this is a table. That's part of your this is a table So what is it happening here, so this is changing as you can see it's changing the color Random patterns This is a crazy cool table. How long does it last on the batteries? The battery will I'm actually I'm not sure how long the battery is last The first time you do an eating table now, this is our first eating table So what's the other possibilities you can do tables walls ceiling panels you could do doors pretty much a lot of designs and Architecture and many that we haven't even thought of yet. We're talking about the square Many kilometers we're talking about lots of ink. Yes. Yes, we're talking about very large installations Like hotel lobbies airport terminals large public spaces so we can include this in a number of different areas So it's a completely different market and you spoke with many architects of the show Many we've had a lot of many allows of interest. We've actually had a lot of interest from architects and designers at this show Yes, so we're talking this the digital signage It's a lot of big ink for the future big if you future from basically a secondary display on Mobile devices like the Yota phone to a very large installation of ink prism and public spaces ink is Diversifying into many different markets and many different products. So how can you manufacture so much surface and ink? Where do you making it remember? We make we actually make electronic ink in western, Massachusetts We actually manufacture it by the rolls that are kilometers long So we could basically cut it to any shape or size that that we need to that's why We could apply ink to many different markets and in many different products and you've been growing the capacity Constantly, we have a lot of capacity. Yes, we do. And so you are ready to cover Las Vegas or any and everybody we're ready to cover Las Vegas. Yes. We are all right
