Batteryless e-paper display replaces paper labels, RFID tags
Users can update a device’s EPD and RFID tag data at the same time using a smartphone or NFC reader/writer. The ultra-low power consumption device doesn’t have a battery and works simply off harvested RF energy supplied solely from the RFID reader / writer.
The combination of an EPD and RFID in a single device allows these tags to streamline inventory management, manufacturing and logistics operations. Both the human- and machine-readable data can be updated easily and efficiently at the same time without the inconvenience of maintaining separate paper and RFID labels.
Unlike traditional active matrix LCD displays, e-paper technology is bistable, meaning no power is required to maintain the image on the tag. Additional power savings are made because a backlight is not needed to read the reflective display.
