We are pleased to introduce an extended range of small e-paper displays from 1.54 inches from DKE. These are now available in a 4-colour version (black/white/red/yellow) as standard, offering improved flexibility in the colour design of content. The additional combination of red and yellow opens up new possibilities for displaying information in applications where small e-paper displays are typically used, such as electronic shelf labelling.

The displays offer an extremely wide viewing angle, a temperature range of 0° to +40°C and a high DPI rate. As e-paper displays only require power to change the image, they are extremely energy-efficient. Thanks to their reflective properties and always-on mode, the image content always remains clearly legible.

We are pleased to announce the successful development of a customised 3.5-inch Human Machine Interface (HMI) unit that we developed specifically for a coffee machine manufacturer. The development was carried out in close co-operation with the customer, taking into account specific design requirements and cost considerations.

The HMI unit is based on a cost-efficient STM32 (Cortex M7) based embedded board and offers an intuitive user interface that ensures seamless integration into existing systems. The high-resolution 3.5-inch TFT display with IPS Wide View Technology guarantees brilliant colours and a brightness of 700cd. The black panel effect is enhanced by the applied full bonding process, which ensures an appealing aesthetic.

This project underlines our expertise in the development of customised solutions for kitchen appliances such as coffee machines and at the same time demonstrates the successful combination of technical requirements and economic efficiency to create innovative products of the highest quality.

We will be presenting two exciting keynotes at this year's electronic displays conference in Nuremberg.

On 10 April from 2:55 to 3:15pm, Andreas Huber, Head of Business Development from DATA MODUL, will talk about the advantages of e-Paper displays, especially outdoors, in his keynote "e-Paper for Outdoor Usage" and will address challenges such as increased temperatures, UV resistance and lighting, with a special focus on the optical bonding of the frontlight.

On 11 April, Claus Vogt, Head of Products & Markets - Display from DATA MODUL, will present the keynote "Transparent Displays" from 3:05 to 3:25pm. This will cover the technological differences compared to classic OLED displays, advantages and disadvantages as well as application scenarios for transparent displays in HMIs, monitors or in the digital signage market.

The electronic displays conference takes place from 10 to 11 April and offers an excellent platform for professional exchange on the latest developments in display technology.

At DATA MODUL, we see sustainability as the basis for future-oriented action that aligns economic considerations and ecological aspects. Our sustainability efforts are focussed on several levels: we are currently determining our corporate carbon footprint (CCF), developing a comprehensive global sustainability strategy and improving our products in terms of energy efficiency and the use of alternative materials. These steps require a thorough analysis and the derivation of corresponding targets and measures for the continuous expansion of resource-conserving business practices.
 
In addition to these major initiatives, we also focus on smaller, daily actions, as we are firmly convinced that they can also make a significant contribution in their entirety. We see sustainability as a shared responsibility that we promote across all departments. Based on this conviction, we organize also corporate volunteering projects that bring together employees from different departments. One example is our partnership with Bergwald e.V., where we recently made a small contribution to climate adaptation of local forest ecosystems for the second time since 2022 by planting 1,000 trees this time thanks to the dedicated efforts of 20 employees from the Weikersheim site.

Discover two new models of a 10.1" touch display from Powertip with MIPI interface. These displays are characterised by their low power consumption and high transmission rates and offer an optimal solution for a wide range of applications in areas such as outdoor, smart home control, measuring instruments and EV chargers.

The PH128800T007-ZFC01 model offers an impressive lifetime of 50,000 hours MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) at a brightness of 500 nits. Even under extreme conditions, with an operating temperature range of -20 to +70°C, it delivers reliable performance. For even more demanding requirements, the PH128800T007-ZFC02 model offers a brightness of 800 nits and an extended operating temperature range of -30 to +80°C.

We are delighted to announce the successful integration of our e-paper signage solution at the renowned Green Beetle – a vegan fine dining restaurant in Munich that is clearly committed to sustainability.

Instead of the manually written chalkboard, daily information accompanying the menu is now displayed digitally in colours that perfectly match the interior design. This visual integration is made possible by the AceP colour e-ink technology, which offers an impressive palette of around 60,000 colours.

The unique energy efficiency of the e-paper technology is particularly noteworthy. By minimising energy consumption, which is limited to updating the image content once a day, such as the current menu or wine recommendations, our solution fits perfectly into the sustainable concept of Green Beetle. A perfect symbiosis of innovative technology and environmentally conscious gastronomic standards!
