Outdoor E-Paper Monitors
The Volanti 32" and 42" IP-65 rated outdoor displays use the epaper technology from E Ink. They provide the unique benefits of a high resolution digital sign display that is both sunlight readable and ultra-low power.
Popular applications are transport signage, replacement of paper public signs, messageboards, noticeboards, signboards.
The epaper display used in these monitors is reflective, it just uses the light in the environment, like paper. There is a built-in edgelight for the screen to ensure visibility in low light situations.
This is where epaper based displays really excel, they are extremely low power. This is because they only use power to change the image, and it is possible to do partial screen rewrites. The screen itself uses zero power to hold an image.
Thanks to this very low power requirement there are a number of power options:
- AC to DC power (if available)
- Solar &/or wind power with a battery
- POE (Power over Ethernet)

The 32" and 42" outdoor monitors are made of solid aluminum sealed to IP65 standard, with a toughened anti-glare cover glass. They are designed with flat surfaces so it is easy to add a cosmetic enclosure.
The 32" and 42" outdoor monitors' uniquely low power requirements open up the opportunities for various power alternatives, for example AC mains power, POE (Power over Ethernet), solar and/or wind with a battery. The panel itself draws no power when in an idle state, however the image will remain on the display. The main power consumption is likely to come from the other devices such as the media player, and if used only a few times a day this could be powered off during the idle periods and just "woken up" when needed.
