From August 26 to 28, the 25th IOTE International Internet of Things Exhibition grandly opened at Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao’an). As a weathervane for the development of China’s IoT industry, this exhibition focuses on core tracks including sensing terminals, edge intelligence, passive IoT and smart cities. It has brought together more than 1,000 enterprises across the industrial chain to build an industrial cooperation platform integrating technical exchange, solution demonstration and business matching.
HKC showcased its comprehensive e‑paper product portfolio covering consumer reading, conference & office work, commercial signage and large‑screen splicing. It fully demonstrated its full‑chain technical capabilities ranging from core components to intelligent terminals, and presented innovative achievements in low‑carbon IoT display.
Consumer‑oriented Paperless Office Portfolio: Enabling Lightweight, Intelligent and Low‑carbon Office
E‑paper Readers**: Available in multiple mainstream sizes. Adopting eye‑friendly e‑paper display technology and long‑battery‑life design, they deliver immersive reading experience for IoT‑enabled reading scenarios such as personal reading, libraries and cultural‑education projects.
E‑paper Notebooks**: Highlight ultra‑thin and lightweight design with smooth, precise handwriting input. Integrated with speech‑to‑text, intelligent translation and large‑model AI functions, they support cloud synchronization and remote data interconnection to satisfy requirements for mobile office, meeting minutes and document annotation, facilitating enterprises’ upgrade toward paperless office.
E‑paper Name Badges**: Enabled with IoT online connectivity to allow remote batch update of meeting information as a replacement for traditional paper‑made name badges. Featuring low power consumption and wiring‑free deployment, they are widely applied in government‑enterprise meeting rooms, hotel conferences and exhibition forums to drive low‑carbon and intelligent transformation for conference scenarios.
E‑paper Instant Photo Printer**: Built on innovative reusable medium for fast material synchronization with mobile phones. It supports hundreds of imaging cycles on a full charge, combining creative recording with environmental friendliness for diverse scenarios including creative office documentation, educational training and offline events.
Full‑suite Commercial IoT Display Solutions: Low‑power Consumption for Easy Deployment and Full‑scenario Smart Implementation
For commercial IoT scenarios such as smart cities, smart retail and smart parks, HKC has developed a full lineup of commercial e‑paper display terminals. Boasting zero static power consumption, wiring‑free installation, long battery life and easy maintenance, these products address industry pain points of conventional commercial displays including high energy consumption, cumbersome deployment and excessive operation‑and‑maintenance costs.
E‑paper Signages**: Include desktop, hanging and double‑sided floor‑standing models of various specifications. Content can be updated locally via USB flash drive or remotely released through cloud platforms. Supporting months‑long operation per charge with wiring‑free quick deployment, they fit IoT information‑release scenarios such as retail stores, park way‑finding, elevator media and smart transportation.
AI‑powered E‑paper Art Frames**: Offered in multiple sizes to accurately replicate the texture of physical paintings. Users can push display materials with one tap via mobile APP, enabling remote intelligent operation for home art decoration, hotel soft furnishing and commercial exhibition displays.
E‑paper Splicing Screens**: Support multi‑screen linkage with independent partition display or full‑screen spliced output for high‑impact large‑format visuals. Targeting transportation hubs, commercial complexes and large‑scale exhibition venues, they deliver ultra‑low‑power intelligent IoT display solutions for large‑space environments.
Independently‑developed Underlying Core Components: Leveraging Vertical Industrial Chain to Foster Ecosystem Collaboration
At this exhibition, HKC also exhibited self‑developed core underlying components including e‑paper modules and TFT glass substrates. Characterized by high stability and compatibility, these products support customized development in size and resolution. Drawing on its strengths in integrating the complete vertical industrial chain, HKC delivers proven core‑component solutions to industry‑wide partners. It substantially lowers barriers for downstream manufacturers in whole‑machine R&D, production and iteration, and empowers large‑scale and ecosystem‑driven development of the e‑paper IoT industry.
Deep Engagement in AIoT Low‑carbon Track: Redefining the New Frontier of IoT Display
In the era of Internet of Everything, the explosive growth of end‑user devices has made low power consumption, green‑low‑carbon performance and easy deployment core requirements for IoT terminals. Thanks to its inherent merits including zero static power consumption, eye‑comfort performance and infrequent power supply demand, e‑paper is evolving into a key medium for the sensing‑interaction layer of AIoT. With in‑depth integration with AI technologies, future e‑paper terminals will further realize intelligent AI‑driven content adaptation, cloud‑based management of device clusters and multi‑terminal collaborative interaction, continuously expanding cross‑border application boundaries for IoT.
As a leading enterprise in the display industry, HKC will continue to capitalize on its accumulated display expertise and full‑chain integration strengths. It will promote the evolution of e‑paper from a mere “display tool” into intelligent interactive terminals within the AIoT framework. Working hand‑in‑hand with ecosystem partners across the industrial chain, HKC will further explore key scenarios such as smart office, smart retail, smart cities and smart cultural tourism, and jointly build a new digital ecosystem featuring intelligent connectivity for all things and green low‑carbon development.
