Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, August 27, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ — Geniatech,
a Shenzhen-based manufacturer of [e-paper displays](https://www.geniatech.com/products/e-paper-display/)
and embedded computing hardware, today announced that its Partial Refresh Special
Effects Technology for e-paper displays has won the 2025–2026 ePaper Creativity 
and Innovation “Pioneering” Award at the 4th ePaper Industry Innovation Conference.
The award was decided by a review committee formed by the ePaper Industry Alliance
together with CINNO’s ePaper Insight and the Alliance’s executive council, and recognizes
the submission as the world’s first full-color e-paper technology to combine partial
refresh with dynamic visual transitions.

E-paper displays are widely used across retail, transportation, and education environments
for their low power consumption and eye-friendly viewing experience. However, the
technology has long carried a well-known limitation: updating on-screen content 
has typically required a multi-second, full-screen flash, with no way to refresh
only part of the display. The constraint has generally been treated by the industry
as an unavoidable consequence of e-paper’s underlying physics.

Geniatech’s engineering team developed an approach, built on an FPGA platform, that
combines 8-bit grayscale template-mapped phase shifting with a dual-dimension lookup
table algorithm. The method layers dynamic transition effects directly into the 
partial refresh process, allowing an e-paper screen to render animated transitions—
including blinds, ripples, and gradients — confined to only the specific region 
where content is changing, while the rest of the display remains completely still.

The review committee noted that the technology breaks through the long-standing 
limitation of e-paper refresh being confined to full-screen, whole-display updates.

**Performance Data**

According to Geniatech, the technology was evaluated against e-paper’s established
performance benchmarks to confirm that the innovation did not compromise the display’s
core advantages:

 * Flicker was controlled to below 4 Hz, well under the threshold of human perceptibility
 * Ghosting remained at or below 0.8%, on par with conventional refresh methods
 * Power consumption in the refreshed area was reduced by more than 40%, with no
   additional energy cost introduced by the visual effects

**Industry Recognition and Publication History**

The technology was first shown publicly in August 2025 at the IOTE Shenzhen International
Internet of Things Exhibition. Zuo Qiang, Secretary-General of the ePaper Industry
Alliance, described the technology as a significant technical innovation that provides
the e-paper industry with a new capability for building differentiated products.

In October 2025, the underlying research was published in the national-level journal
Information Technology and Standardization under the title “Design of Dynamic Special
Effects for Spectra 6 Full-Color E-Paper Screen Transitions Based on FPGA.” Throughout
2026, the technology has been presented at CES, ISE, Embedded World, and COMPUTEX.

**Availability**

The Partial Refresh Special Effects Technology is currently integrated into Geniatech’s
full-color [e-paper digital signage](https://www.geniatech.com/products/eink/) and
full-color e-paper photo frame product lines. The company is showcasing the full
product lineup at IOTE Shenzhen 2026, Hall 11, Booth 11B18, running August 26–28,
2026.
