Samsung Launches 13-Inch Paper-Thin Digital Display
Samsung has introduced a new 13-inch digital display called the EM13DX.
This display is very thin, like paper, and uses almost no power when showing still pictures.
It's designed to replace paper signs and posters in places like stores, cafes, and offices.
The display is made from recycled materials and special plastic from tiny sea creatures, which helps reduce pollution.
It can be easily moved and updated using a smartphone app or a cloud-based system.
Samsung also plans to launch a 20-inch version at a future event.
This new display helps Samsung stay a leader in the market for digital signs.
Samsung launched the 13-inch EM13DX Colour E-Paper display, designed as an eco-friendly alternative to printed posters and paper signs.
The display uses digital ink technology, consuming almost no power for static content, making it ideal for retail stores, cafes, offices, and hotels.
The 13-inch model features a 1,600 x 1,200 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, resembling printed posters with a paper-like appearance.
The display is made from 45% recycled plastic and 10% bio-resin derived from phytoplankton, reducing carbon emissions by over 40% compared to standard plastics.
The EM13DX is portable, measuring 17.9 mm in thickness and weighing 0.9 kg with the battery, and can be updated using the Samsung E-Paper app or VXT platform.
