E Ink: Paper-Like Clarity, Ultra-Low Power

Our electronic shelf labels utilize advanced bistable E Ink technology.

These displays only consume power when the image changes, allowing for multi-year battery life while providing 180° viewing angles and crisp readability under any lighting conditions.


  • High-contrast visual performance comparable to printed paper.

  • Zero-power consumption for static images.

  • Support for 3-color (Black, White, Red) and 4-color(Black, White, Red, Yellow) systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is smart shelf technology?

Smart shelf technology is a connected infrastructure that combines digital displays, wireless communication, cloud software and enterprise data systems. It allows information and content to be remotely transmitted to electronic shelf labels and digital signage.

What is the role of E Ink in smart shelf systems?

E Ink provides a low-power, highly readable display technology for electronic shelf labels. Content remains visible without continuous power, making electronic paper suitable for devices that require long operating periods.

How do electronic shelf labels connect to the cloud?

Electronic shelf labels communicate with wireless base stations through low-power wireless networks. The base stations connect with the cloud platform, allowing product data, templates and update instructions to be sent to the labels.

Can ESLs and digital signage use the same cloud platform?

Yes. Electronic shelf labels and digital signage can be centrally managed through the ZKONG Cloud Platform while continuing to use different display and communication technologies.

What systems can connect with the ZKONG Cloud Platform?

The platform can connect with ERP, POS, PIM, inventory, pricing and content management systems through APIs, SDKs and customized integration.

How does NFC work with electronic shelf labels?

NFC allows compatible terminals or mobile devices to identify ESLs, bind labels with products and perform short-range device interaction. Authentication mechanisms can also help protect the communication process.

How is smart shelf data protected?

Smart shelf data can be protected through encrypted communication, cloud data protection, access permissions, authenticated device interaction, monitoring alerts and operation logs.

What is the difference between ESL and digital signage?

Electronic shelf labels use low-power E Ink displays for continuously visible product and shelf information. Digital signage uses full-color LCD displays for images, video and dynamic multimedia content. The two technologies can operate together through the same cloud infrastructure.
