LG Electronics is accelerating its entry into the commercial display market with the introduction of its energy-efficient 'LG e-Paper Display.'

The company announced on May 28 that it will begin launching the LG e-Paper Display in South Korea next month, followed by a rollout in European and other international markets.

This product mimics the texture of paper posters while allowing for prolonged image retention. It boasts enhanced energy efficiency and installation convenience compared to traditional digital signage.

The display utilizes electronic ink panel technology, which moves and fixes charged micro-color particles using an electric field to create images. Once an image is displayed, it can be maintained without additional power supply. The power consumption when changing images is significantly lower than that of existing digital signage, making it ideal for commercial spaces that require long-term content display, such as menu boards, price tags, and promotional signs.

The product features a 32-inch size with QHD (2560×1440) resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It employs a reflective display that utilizes ambient light, providing a wide viewing angle and reducing eye strain.

To enhance color reproduction, the company has implemented its own image quality improvement algorithm, addressing the limitations of electronic ink-based products and delivering more natural and vivid colors.

Battery performance has also been improved. The new model includes a 72Wh high-capacity battery and an ultra-low power system-on-chip (SoC), enabling extended operation. It can be fully charged in about three hours using the included charger after power is turned off. The design allows for a magnetic auxiliary battery to be attached to the back, and it supports wireless charging to enhance usability based on installation environments.

Additionally, the display features a 'power management' function that automatically controls power based on user-defined content transition schedules, ensuring the display is powered on only when needed. This reduces unnecessary power consumption and extends battery life, easing management burdens for corporate clients operating multiple displays.

The LG e-Paper Display can also integrate with LG's commercial display operation solution, 'LG SuperSign CMS.' This allows users to remotely monitor product status via a web browser, easily change settings or content, and manage multiple e-Paper displays simultaneously or by schedule. Content operation is also supported through USB storage devices or the client's own CMS server.

The design emphasizes competitiveness, featuring a paper-thin appearance achieved by removing the backlight, with an overall thickness of 17.8 mm and a minimum thickness of 8.6 mm. Weighing just 3.1 kg, it can be installed relatively easily in various spaces, such as walls or store interiors. This design excellence was recognized with an award at the 'Red Dot Design Award 2026.'

Min Dong-seon, head of LG Electronics' MS Business Division ID Business Unit, stated, "The LG e-Paper Display, with its ultra-lightweight, ultra-slim design and groundbreaking ultra-low power technology, will provide new options for B2B customers."
