- ESL-based electronic paper technology to expand to external vehicle displays

Global electronics components and IoT solution specialist Soluem announced on the 8th that it is expanding its business scope into the mobility device market by supplying 'Smart Info-Panel' to Auto&N, a mobility lifestyle specialist company.

The panel will first be applied to Kia's next-generation PBV model, the PV5, and is expected to expand to vehicles based on Hyundai Motor Group's next-generation infotainment system, 'Pleos Connect,' in the future. This Smart Info-Panel is a vehicle-specific electronic paper (EPD) display developed based on Soluem's high-durability outdoor ESL product line, the 'Newton Pro Extreme 4.2' platform.

The product features a 4.2-inch electronic paper display. It provides visibility comparable to printed paper even in outdoor environments with strong direct sunlight or on the exterior of vehicles, and consumes low power, allowing for continuous display. Durability and stability were also enhanced considering the vehicle's external environment.

Additionally, it connects with Auto&N's vehicle integrated control application, 'Cardle,' via BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) wireless communication. Users can wirelessly update images and information through the app, enabling content operation tailored to various vehicle usage environments.

The Cardle app is registered in Hyundai Motor Group's 'Pleos App Market,' drawing attention to its potential for future expansion to vehicles under the Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis brands.

Soluem has been conducting its ESL business in the global distribution and retail markets, supplying products to over 60 countries. The company explained that this supply is significant as it represents an extension of its accumulated electronic paper device technology into the vehicle environment.

A Soluem official stated, "The Smart Info-Panel is the first application case that reinterprets a proven electronic paper hardware platform for the vehicle environment," and added, "Through integration with the vehicle software ecosystem based on Pleos Connect, we plan to continuously expand the utilization scope of electronic paper devices in the mobility environment."
