    E Ink Receives Investment from Intel Capital

    CAMBRIDGE,Mass.,March 05–E Ink Corporation, the leading developer and
    marketer of electronic paper display technology, today announced that Intel
    Capital has invested an undisclosed amount in the company.

    “Intel Capital has a global reputation and brings a wealth of resources
    beyond simple cash,” said Russ Wilcox, President and CEO.

    “We are pleased to receive Intel Capital’s investment and will be using this
    funding to help improve the next generation of our paper-like display technology
    through increased R&D,” said Ken Titlebaum, Vice President of
    Finance.

    E Ink Corporation products enable a new type of electronic display with a
    bright white background and crisp text and pictures similar to printed
    documents. Once updated, the display can maintain an image without using power,
    enabling over 90% power savings compared to traditional displays and greatly
    extending the battery life of portable devices. Some versions are available on
    plastic and can be flexed and rolled, combining the complete look and feel of a
    paper document with the versatility of digital control and wireless update. The
    company’s products are used in electronic book devices, information kiosks, and
    advertising signage. Future uses for E Ink’s technology include smartcards,
    watches, clocks, medical devices, consumer electronics, and mobile
    phones.
