Delivering Sustainable Outdoor E-Paper Display Solutions

E-paper solutions are revolutionising digital displays, offering fantastic image quality whilst requiring a small fraction of the power of traditional LCD and LED displays. But adapting this impressive display technology for use in demanding outdoor environments, of which there are many use cases, is a challenge that the team at Melford has taken on to meet the custom needs of our clients and partners.

Engineering a rugged e-paper solution

Building on our decades of experience designing and manufacturing outdoor display technology for our clients, and working in close partnership with the E Ink Corporation, we’ve created unique rugged weatherproof housings. These enable us to capitalise on the benefits of e-paper, whilst being fit for purpose in varied outdoor locations. This includes designing solutions with high IP (ingress protection) ratings – necessary for environments where dust and water particles can be particularly problematic.

Our environmental testing chamber enables us to test these products at all stages of the design and development process, across a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions. Combine this with our hands on experience of implementing outdoor display solutions in some incredibly demanding locations, and we are confident in delivering a fit for purpose, rugged e-paper solution – for example, see our recent work with Medway Council.

Enhancing our outdoor e-paper displays with new developments

Thanks to the latest innovations from E Ink Corporation, we are able to bring some fantastic new features to our outdoor e-paper solutions. This includes integrated solar power, enabling year-round operation without the need for a mains supply. We can also offer high-quality colour options, and a wide range of screen sizes and formats to meet the specific needs of our clients.

We design and develop custom solutions for a wide variety of outdoor applications, ensuring these are fit for purpose for your specific requirements. With some exciting new releases coming soon, keep an eye on our e-paper display products page for our latest developments and product releases.
