E Ink Holdings Completes Acquisition of SiPix

E Ink Holdings announced that it completed the purchase of 82.7% of shares (on fully diluted basis) of SiPix Technology, Inc. (STI) and its wholly owned subsidiary SiPix Imaging, Inc. (SII), the maker of electronic paper displays. Established in 1999, SiPix, based in California and Taiwan, makes micro‐cup technology based electrophoretic displays.

The combined company will offer a vast portfolio of ePaper products that will allow it to expand its existing markets and diversify into new applications. E Ink’s customers will now have a wider portfolio of products and technologies to choose from with a larger global network of offices to support customers in different geographies.

“E Ink is excited to announce the closure of this purchase,” said Felix Ho, vice chairman of E Ink Holdings. “Over the last 15 years we have made substantial investments in research, development, manufacturing, as well as in building the ecosystem around electronic paper displays. The integration of SiPix technology and applications allows us to offer more to our customers, and to continue building new markets for EPDs.”

E Ink is a leader in the eReader market, with customers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookeen, Ectaco, Hanvon, iRiver, Kobo, Sony, Wexler and others.
