About HONGCAI

Iris-Optronics Co., Ltd. (HONGCAI), founded in 2012, is a technology company specializing in the development and application of cholesteric liquid crystal (ChLCD) display technology. The company focuses on creating key processes, equipment, and systems for full-color e-paper displays.

The company's core technology, ChLCD, enables the creation of full-color electronic paper that offers a reading experience similar to traditional paper and is suitable for a wide range of applications, including extreme environments like outdoor advertising billboards. This technology is noted for its true full-color capabilities, ultra-wide temperature tolerance, and zero carbon emissions. Iris-Optronics holds an extensive portfolio of over 200 global patents related to this technology, with protection expected to last until 2045.

Iris-Optronics operates as a design house, collaborating with partners to bring its technology to various markets. In September 2024, the company established its first overseas subsidiary in Shanghai to expand its global reach, targeting markets in smart education, smart retail, and smart transportation. Key products include a 27.6-inch outdoor full-color advertising display and the Infinity Display® series, which can be integrated with solar panels for self-charging capabilities. The company has also partnered with Porrima Inc. to integrate its displays into the zero-emission 'Porrima P111' future ship.
