■ Features of the award-winning product and the reasons for the award
"ePoster" achieves display retention with zero power consumption. Power is only required when rewriting the display, demonstrating excellent energy-saving performance. It incorporates the electronic paper technology of E Ink Holdings Inc. (Headquarters: Hsinchu City, Taiwan, CEO: Johnson Lee), the world's largest electronic paper company, combining high visibility like paper and rich color expression. Additionally, it features a thin and lightweight design, making it usable in locations where digital signage installation was previously difficult due to power supply and load-bearing issues. Furthermore, it supports simultaneous rewriting of multiple displays remotely. This product was highly evaluated not only for its energy-saving performance but also for its contribution to resource and labor savings in operation. These factors led to this award.

The award-winning products were on display at the award corner of ENEX2025, 49th Energy and Environment Exhibition held at Tokyo Big Sight from January 29 to January 31, 2025.
