- Samsung introduces 13-inch color e-paper for workplace signage
- Digital ink allows static images to remain visible without constant feeding
- Screen mimics the look of paper while providing dynamic updates to digital content
Samsung Electronics has introduced a 13-inch color e-paper display, expanding its signage range with a compact unit intended to replace printed notices in workplaces.
The device, dubbed model EM13DX, is approximately the size of an A4 sheet and is designed for use in environments such as retail counters, office spaces, reception counters and restaurant service points.
According to Samsung, the display is intended to support “rapidly changing operations”, allowing information to be updated without the recurring need to reprint physical documents.

Digital ink and content flexibility
The company says the screen maintains a paper-like appearance, aiming to replicate the visual clarity of printed signage while transferring it to a digital format.
It leverages digital ink technology, which allows static images to remain visible without continuous power consumption.
This monitor only requires power when content is refreshing, a design choice that reduces ongoing power demand compared to traditional displays.
This allows businesses to change menus, schedules or announcements without replacing physical materials or relying on printed updates.
The system is also compatible with Samsung’s content management tools, including its mobile app and cloud platform known as Visual eXperience Transformation.
These tools allow staff to update content locally or remotely, based on operational needs, while also providing features to preview layout and color accuracy before publishing.
The 13-inch model expands a wider range of electronic color papers that previously included a 32-inch version.
The smaller size is intended to increase placement flexibility, allowing deployment in tighter or more varied locations such as doors, shelves and service counters.
Beyond the display and content system, Samsung Electronics says the case includes 45% recycled plastic as well as 10% phytoplankton-based bioresin.
The company also claims that this composition can reduce manufacturing emissions compared to conventional plastic materials.
Packaging follows a similar approach, with paper-based materials used for boxes and protective components instead of plastic alternatives.
“Modern businesses need signage that adapts to their rapidly changing operations,” said Jonathan del Rosario, product manager, display solutions, Samsung Electronics America.
“With the new 13-inch addition to our Color E-Paper line, Samsung offers a compact, ultra-low power display that is easy to install in high visibility areas. Organizations can keep their customers and employees up to date with the latest information without the added cost and effort of constantly reprinting documents.”
