Two-in-One Monitor Product Innovation Story

Product Concept and Target Markets:

In our company's product planning, we thoroughly researched global markets, with a keen focus on North America, Europe, and mainland China. We wanted to understand the specific needs and preferences of users in these regions, which led us to develop a cutting-edge, two-in-one dual-screen display product that combines an LCD liquid crystal display with an eInk electronic paper display. Our goal is to cater to both business and personal consumers' demands.

The Philips 24B1D5600 monitor is a true innovation, bringing together a powerful 23.8-inch LCD display with a 13.3-inch eInk display. The idea behind this integration came directly from the feedback of our target audience. We wanted to offer them the best of both worlds by harnessing the strengths of these two different screen technologies in a single unit, resulting in enhanced usability and superior performance.

One of the standout features is the eInk display, which provides a passive, eye-friendly viewing experience, relying on ambient light reflection for a comfortable, fatigue-free reading session. Not only does it save up to 80% of energy, but it also reduces paper usage, making it environmentally friendly. Moreover, this innovative combination of technologies enables seamless integration of various communication and media tasks. The monitor boasts a sleek and modern geometric design with a prototype-like appearance. We put great thought into its functionality and ergonomics, allowing users to adjust tilt angles, rotate the screen, adjust the height, and customize settings, providing them with unparalleled flexibility.

This multi-functional design approach makes the monitor versatile for both home and office use, giving users the option to utilize each screen independently according to their needs. Our aim is to provide a user-friendly experience that seamlessly merges the power of LCD with the soft and gentle eInk screen, offering the best of both worlds.

In various industries, we have seen an upsurge of creative applications for eInk technology, such as electronic price tags, e-notebooks, smartphones, laptops, displays, electronic bus stop signs, and more, which fuels the continuous and thriving growth of the eInk industry.
