The review for the award-winning A0-sized "ePoster" is as follows: "This is an electronic paper display using E ink technology, consuming zero power during display. With IP65 equivalent environmental resistance and an anti-glare screen, it has good visibility outdoors. It also lights up at night for improved visibility, potentially serving as illumination. Utilizing LPWA communication network, data can be rewritten. The energy-saving design allows for 16 hours of illumination with solar-powered charging and full charge, expected to be widely used as signage or lighting during disasters, highly evaluated for its unique application of in-house technology."
