What We Do

Take the power back with frontlit reflective displays.

Azumo technology sips power at a 90% lower rate than backlit LCDs, is intrinsically safe, and is certified for industrial and medical uses. The frontlit reflective LCD module is the next step in devices, and works in various applications.

With Azumo-powered displays, devices can run for a week on a single charge, and can go wherever we need them to with visibility in direct sun and pitch darkness.

Our reflective display modules remove the restrictions around how and where we can look at our devices, and what they can do for us.
