Why replace printed signs

Better than printing again.

No reprintingChange content in seconds instead of printing and replacing cards.
No cables or socketsBattery-powered, so it goes where printed signs go.
One app for every displayUpdate one display or all of them from your phone.
Why e-ink

Calm in any light.

E-ink reflects ambient light like paper instead of shining like a screen. No glow, no cables to run, months between charges, and one app for every display.

Not a concept. Engineering, tooling and pilot production are complete.

FAQ

Questions businesses ask

Do the displays need power cables?+

No. Each display has a built-in battery and runs for months on a single charge.

How is the content updated?+

From the MelonFrame app. You manage every display from one place, and web playlists can show images from a URL or RSS feed.

Are other sizes available?+

MelonFrame uses a 7.3" display today. We focus on standard formats that suit most customers rather than special sizes: larger formats such as 13.3" and smaller formats are in development. Tell us which size would work for you.

Where does the pilot programme run?+

We're selecting a small number of pilot partners in Switzerland and the EU.

Does the display glow?+

No. E-ink reflects ambient light like paper, so it looks best in normal room light or daylight and stays calm in the evening.
