21 21 Co-Creating Value for The AIoT World

22 Thank You 22 E Ink is the originator, pioneer & commercial leader in epaper technology

23 epaper: Best Choice for Non-continuous Updated Application EPD TFT LCD Memory LCD PMOLED AMOLED Update (mw) Still (mw) Response time (s) (60Hz) (120Hz) (120Hz) EPD Power consumption = still x (1-(response/frequency)) + update x (response/frequency) 23

24 Power Consumption of Normal & Low Voltage epaper Power Consumption Comparison (mw) 15V: normal epaper film Low Voltage A : low voltage epaper film + normal driver IC Low Voltage B : low voltage epaper film + improved driver IC VDD: 3.3V 15V epaper film 5V Low voltage epaper film Thickness 100% 88% 24

25 The More: Battery-Free epaper Solution

26 epaper Film Innovation Super Low Power driving is achieved by Lowering film resistance through shorter microcup walls Micro-cup: reduce thickness shorten particle moving distance Fluid: reduce viscosity increase particle mobility 26
