At Touch Taiwan 2017, E ink showcased large amounts of display capabilities of e-paper in new and emerging domains, especially in their Prism products. These products are mainly geared towards use in large-scale public spaces and building decorations where their light and flexible characteristics are put to use and they can be easily integrated into a wide variety of interior designs.

However, E ink has even more imaginative ideas for this technology, and the company will also utilize Prism products in fashion industries which include clothing and shoes. In addition, at the exhibition they attracted large numbers of viewers and subverted people's stereotypical impressions of e-paper.

On the other hand, the functionality of e-paper for e-reader devices is also gradually being refined, and as the pace of updates continues to increase, e-paper no longer has the past shortcoming of lagging displays and is approaching the perfection of a paper reading experience.
