Samsung Debuts 13-Inch Colour E-Paper

Samsung Debuts 13-Inch Color E-Paper, a World-First Display Built With Bio-Resin Derived From Phytoplankton

Assured Digital Signage are proud to partner with one of our most trusted brands, Samsung, to introduce the new 13-Inch Colour E-Paper display, an ultra-low power digital signage solution designed to replace traditional printed signage. This innovative display delivers vibrant, paper-like visuals while consuming virtually no power when showing static content, making it an efficient and sustainable choice for modern businesses.

Paper‑Like Colour and Clarity for Modern Digital Displays

As the smallest model in the lineup, the new 13-inch Samsung Colour E-Paper offers businesses a compact display option for shelves, counters, tables and doors where traditional paper signage is still widely used. Similar in scale to A4 paper, the display delivers 1,600 x 1,200 resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio.

With a rechargeable, embedded battery, USB Type-C support and flexible mounting options, the display can be deployed without permanent power cables. Its ultra-slim 17.9mm design weighs just 0.9kg with the battery, making it easy to install and reposition across different placements as campaigns change. Samsung’s advanced colour imaging algorithm enhances colour accuracy and readability to deliver a paper-like look and feel. By smoothing gradations and refining contours, it produces vivid visuals that resemble traditional posters and point-of-purchase displays, helping businesses transition naturally from printed materials to digital signage.

Pioneering Lower‑Impact Signage With Bio‑Based Materials

Samsung’s 13-inch Colour E-Paper is the world’s first commercial display to apply a bio-resin derived from phytoplankton in its housing. The display’s housing has been independently verified by global safety and sustainability certification organisation UL to consist of 45% recycled plastic and 10% phytoplankton-based bio-resin. This material innovation was developed as an alternative to conventional petroleum-based plastics, which can reduce carbon emissions in the manufacturing process by more than 40%.

Sustainability is carefully considered in every part of the display, from the housing to the packaging. The entire packaging, including the box, cushion and accessory box, is made from 100% paper.

Day-to-day operation is designed to be just as efficient. The display maintains static images at zero watts power, reducing unnecessary energy usage without compromising reliability. When content is updated, overall energy use remains far lower than that of conventional digital signage, which helps lower operating costs over time.

Easy Content Control With Samsung E-Paper App and Samsung VXT

Samsung’s 13-inch Colour E-Paper supports simple content control for both local and remote operation. The Samsung E-Paper App, available on Android and iOS, allows staff to update and manage local content directly from personal devices, without the need for an additional remote control.

The display is also compatible with Samsung VXT, a cloud-based content and remote device management platform that lets teams remotely manage hardware settings, troubleshoot issues and create and deploy content with minimal training. For Colour E-Paper, Samsung VXT includes dedicated features to optimise content visibility, as well as a preview function that allows teams to check colour accuracy before deployment.

Alongside the new 13-inch display, Samsung will unveil a 20-inch model for the first time at ISE 2026, a world-renowned audiovisual and systems integration tech show held in Barcelona from Feb. 3-6. With this expansion of the Colour E-Paper lineup beyond the existing 32-inch model offering, the Colour E-Paper portfolio is increasingly designed to support a wide range of business needs.

Samsung continues to lead the global digital signage market, securing a 36.2% global market share by volume in Q3 2025, building on its 17-year position as the world’s leading commercial display provider.
