- Samsung introduces 13-inch color e-paper for use in workplace signage
- Digital ink allows still images to remain visible without requiring constant power
- The screen mimics the appearance of paper and offers dynamic updates of digital content.
Samsung Electronics has introduced a 13-inch color e-paper display, expanding its signage lineup with a compact unit aimed at replacing printed notices in the workplace.
The device, called model EM13DX, is approximately the size of an A4 sheet of paper and is designed for use in environments such as retail counters, office spaces, hospitality counters and restaurant service points.
Samsung says the display is intended to support “rapidly changing operations,” allowing information to be updated without the recurring need to reprint physical materials.

Digital ink and content flexibility
The company says the display maintains a paper-like appearance, aiming to replicate the visual clarity of printed signage while transitioning it to a digital format.
It is based on digital ink technology, which allows static images to remain visible without continuous use of power.
This monitor only requires power when content is updated, a design choice that reduces ongoing power demand compared to traditional displays.
This allows businesses to change menus, hours or advertisements 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-based platform known as Visual eXperience Transformation.
These tools allow staff to update content locally or remotely, depending on operational needs, while also offering preview capabilities for design and color accuracy before publishing.
The 13-inch model expands a larger line of color e-paper 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 doorways, shelves, and service counters.
Beyond the display and content system, Samsung Electronics says the case includes 45% recycled plastic along with 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, using paper-based materials for boxes and protective components instead of plastic alternatives.
“Modern businesses need signage that keeps up with rapidly changing operations,” said Jonathan del Rosario, Head of Product, 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 customers and employees up to date with the latest information without the additional cost and effort of constantly reprinting materials.”
