E Ink Holdings Inc. announced a reference design for eBadge applications. According to Markets and Markets, the smart badge market is set for significant growth over the next few years; eBadge devices were valued at USD 17.8 billion in 2019 and the market is projected to reach USD 33 million by 2025 with a CAGR of 9.6% from 2020 to 2025. The smart badge with displays segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 29.1% during the forecast period. The growth of smart badges can be attributed to the convenience and transaction security they provide, as well as their capability for tamper-proof storage of information and account identity of users. Through the joint project with E Ink and Atmosic, Atmosic will offer a power-optimized eBadge reference design, featuring one of E Ink’s 2.9” or 3.7” black and white displays, or 4.1” Gallery Palette™ color displays. The kit utilizes Atmosic’s M series extreme low-power Bluetooth LE platform, enabling long, multiyear battery life which can be extended by using optional on-chip energy harvesting. The kit can be used in landscape or portrait mode, and under a typical eBadge use case of three image changes per day, a small CR2032 coin cell battery will last over three years. This low-power eBadge can also provide visual updates including a photo, location information, alert messages, and text messages. The use of energy harvesting can give the eBadge virtually unlimited battery life.
