E-Paper displays: The energy-efficient smart signage solution

E-Paper, also known as electronic paper or E-Ink displays, are a particularly energy-efficient display technology. Unlike conventional screens, they only require energy when the image changes – the content remains permanently visible without any backlighting.

This makes the E-paper the ideal solution for applications with static or rarely changing content—for example, digital signage, price labeling, or information boards in offices, stores, or public institutions.

Why E-Paper? The advantages at a glance

• Ultra-low power consumption: One battery charge often lasts for many months or longer.
• Easy on the eyes & glare-free: No flickering, no light emission—as comfortable as real paper.
• Sustainable & resource-efficient: Low energy consumption, frequently recyclable materials.
• Ideal for fixed content: Perfect for applications with low change frequency.

Samsung Color E-Paper: Color meets efficiency

The new Samsung EMDX series makes the E-Paper even more versatile. The color displays are extremely thin, lightweight, and offer high-quality, paper-like display – with minimal energy consumption.

They replace traditional advertising media and enable sustainable digital signage indoors and outdoors.

Customized E-Paper solutions for your company

As an experienced Samsung partner, we offer customized concepts – from the gradual conversion of existing systems to complete redesigns. We support you from planning to commissioning.

Smart Signage + E-Paper = Sustainable communication

The combination of smart signage (centrally controllable via CMS) and the E-Paper creates flexible, digital signage solutions that display content efficiently and in an environmentally friendly manner – without any permanent power consumption.

Conclusion: Energy-efficient digital signage with the E-Paper

E-Paper displays offer a powerful combination of sustainability, efficiency, and user-friendliness. Combined with smart control, they provide a modern solution for companies that want to communicate in a resource-efficient manner.

This year marks our 30th anniversary, which we celebrated in style.

Thirty years of innovation, customer focus, and technological excellence. Reason enough to pause, look back, and above all, say thank you.

What began in 1995 as a small, visionary company has developed over three decades into an established, high-performance partner in the field of media technology solutions for events, installations, and broadcast projects.

30 years sld mediatec – an interview with CEO Sebastian Kamm

From its founding to today – a brief review

On Sundays, managing director Sebastian Kamm and two friends organized the first small parties—improvised, but with a lot of passion. The money earned from delivering newspapers was invested in the first sound system from Ohm, which expanded the technical possibilities.

Together with Liam and Daniel, he finally founded sld mediatec GmbH – with the clear goal of taking media technology productions to the next level.

Early on, sld mediatec recognized the potential of modern media technology and consistently focused on quality, innovation, and service. The beginnings were characterized by a passion for craftsmanship and a pioneering technical spirit. With a small team and great commitment, the first projects were realized – always with the goal of creating the perfect media production for customers.

30 years of development and innovation

Over the past three decades, not only has our team grown, but so too has our expertise and portfolio:

• Expansion of the event technology rental division and implementation of our first major projects in the event industry
• Expansion to include permanent installations for museums, educational institutions, companies, and public spaces
• Development of integrated system solutions for comprehensive media technology concepts
• Digitalization push and establishment of hybrid event formats
• Integration of intelligent control systems, smart AV solutions, and sustainable technology strategies

Today, we implement media technology projects of all sizes—regionally, nationally, and internationally. Our strength lies in combining technical expertise, creative thinking, and project support based on partnership.

One thing has never changed over the years: our commitment to technical and personal reliability. We believe that good technology not only works—it inspires. And that trust is the best foundation for long-term cooperation.

“Small enough to be flexible, big enough to handle complex projects.”

This guiding principle aptly describes what our work is all about: individual solutions with a high degree of technical excellence – and at the same time the ability to confidently implement even complex, large-scale projects.

Many thanks to our customers and partners for their trust – we look forward to successful future projects together!

September started with a big boost for our team – eight trainees and one permanent employee started with us on Monday.

The induction day included presentations with important information, a tour of the company and, of course, a welcome pack for each new team member.

We wish Gabriella, Constantin, Lucian, David, Pascal, Alexander, Maxim, Christoph and Arthur a great start with us! It’s great to have you with us!

After almost three years of construction, the Confex opened on June 28, 2024. Now, for the first time, over 6,200 congress guests can come together in one place, 4,300 in the Confex Hall alone – in a flexible, fully digitalized space that enables live and hybrid events at the highest level worldwide.

We installed the 72m-long media mesh on the facade of the Confex. It is unique in Europe on this scale and we think it looks simply impressive! Incidentally, thanks to the special design, the interior spaces behind it are hardly affected and you still have a great view of Cologne Cathedral. We have also equipped the interior with numerous LED displays and digital signage.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of this pioneering project!

A total of 25 ServicePartners provide a high-quality range of services at the Nuremberg exhibition venue. We have been part of this group since July 2023 and are responsible for media technology. From July 2024, as a ServicePartner of NürnbergMesse, we will now also be responsible for electrical engineering!

NürnbergMesse is thus diversifying another trade at the Nuremberg exhibition venue in order to offer its customers the greatest possible expertise and reliability. “Services are the be-all and end-all when organizing and staging trade fairs. With sld mediatec as a new service partner in the electrical services product category, we are continuing to diversify our range of services,” says Remo Zimmermann, Head of Services at NürnbergMesse Group.

NürnbergMesse examined various providers for this area of responsibility in a selection process. We stood out in particular due to our willingness to innovate and our local location in Nuremberg.

With almost 30 years of experience in the fields of media, event and electrical engineering and our team of dedicated experts, we are a reliable partner for NürnbergMesse. Thanks to our company headquarters in Nuremberg and an additional location directly in the exhibition center, we can also offer high-quality services for exhibitors at short notice.

The 11th Ball of the Entrepreneurs was again a complete success! For this special event we installed 170m² LED wall, over 100 moving heads, more than 70 motors, over 700m truss and over 25km of cable. All this was only possible thanks to a super cooperation – it’s always great to see what you can get going with #teamwork!

Seamless display walls are currently widely used, their locations range from events to exhibition stands, digital signage applications, conference rooms, congresses and much more.

With us, a 1 to 1 module exchange of 55″ seamless display walls is now possible without any structural measures! Guaranteed to fit the standard dimensions of Samsung, LG or NEC.

But what are the advantages of a conversion?

• LED walls offer the advantage of having a homogeneous and truly seamless surface. With the previous seamless walls, a completely seamless surface was never possible
• The latest and most durable technology can be installed

In addition, LED screens offer brighter and more brilliant colors and thus show the played content even more impressively, even in particularly bright environments.

Why should we do the conversion?

Seamless walls are often integrated into the room, usually also with specially made furniture. We can now offer a solution with which a 1 to 1 conversion is possible – uncomplicated, cost-effective, without conversion work!

Our LED walls are available with a PixelPitch of 1.8, 1.5, 1.2 and also 0.9, for a particularly fine resolution. Depending on the application, we will be happy to advise you on which model is best suited.

For more information please contact us, we are looking forward to your non-binding inquiry!
