Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, has announced the launch of its new EP-CA22 E Ink display based on Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP). The EP-CA22 comes with a 28.6-inch A2-size e-paper display and is designed to serve as an energy-efficient and visually striking alternative to traditional paper posters or digital signage.
Key Highlights of the EP-CA22 ePaper Display
- Zero-watt static display: The EP-CA22 is exceptionally power efficient thanks to the inherent nature of e-paper technology. It consumes almost no power while displaying a static image. It is only when the content is updated that a minimal amount of power is drawn. This makes the EP-CA22 particularly well-suited for such applications where the display content remains static for long durations. This ensures considerably reduced power consumption and operating costs.
- Paper-like visual quality: The E Ink screen is characterized by glare-free visuals and zero blue-light emission. This makes the display extremely eye-friendly. This does not compromise the visual experience as texts and images are of high resolution and high contrast. It delivers a comfortable, printed-like viewing experience even under bright lighting.
- Wide viewing angles & versatility: The EP-CA22 has a wide 180-degree viewing angle, which again is typical of e-paper displays. Also, a nice feature of the EP-CA22 is that it can be installed in multiple orientations. That includes landscape, portrait, face-up, or face-down orientations, which makes it adaptable to installation in diverse environments such as educational campuses, healthcare facilities, retail locations, and restaurants.
- Seamless connectivity & install ease: The display can be updated via USB-C, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. It is compatible with different CMS platforms, which makes it future-proof with support for future-ready installations. The integrated System on a Chip (SoC) ensures the display delivers its intended role with perfect ease.
- Durable and dependable: The EP-CA22 is lightweight and easy to install, which makes it ideal for placement in areas with limited power access. It is backed by a 3-year parts and labor warranty.
Sustainability in Focus
The Sharp EP-CA22 can be considered a sustainable technological solution thanks to its ultra-low power requirements and an eco-friendly build. This ensures minimal carbon footprint and efficient waste reduction while replacing printed media with digital alternatives.
Why the EP-CA22 Matters
- Eco-conscious signage: Reduces paper waste, printing costs, and energy expenses—an essential upgrade for businesses emphasizing sustainability.
- Enhanced readability: Delivers the look and feel of print without glare or blue-light fatigue—even in bright daylight conditions.
