Ynvisible Interactive

What Ynvisible Interactive does

Ynvisible Interactive Inc. is a Canadian-headquartered, publicly listed printed electronics company (TSXV: YNV; OTCQB: YNVYF; FSE: 1XNA) that develops and manufactures ultra-low-power electrochromic e-paper displays. Founded in Portugal in 2010 and now headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company operates from facilities in Canada, Portugal (manufacturing and R&D), Sweden (engineering, MedPrint and R2R-MICROBAT projects), and Germany (DACH sales), with an 11–50 person multicultural global team. Its core technology comprises proprietary electrochromic inks deposited via roll-to-roll screen printing onto flexible substrates, producing displays thinner than 300 µm with a 10 mm bend radius that operate at 1.5–3 V with sub-1 µW/cm² power draw and 1,000,000+ switching cycles across a −20 °C to +60 °C range.

The product portfolio centers on E-Paper Displays in segment, color, large-format, and transparent variants, complemented by an Arduino-compatible Driver 5.2 (I2C interface) and Evaluation Kit 5.2 for developer integration. Beyond component sales, Ynvisible operates a vertically integrated service stack: Custom Display Prototypes (starting at €3,500 per design), volume contract manufacturing (capacity for 'several tens of millions of units per year'), prototype production, R&D and engineering services, and licensing of electrochromic ink IP. Co-developed end-application products include the TempSafe Electrocard with SpotSee (single-use cold-chain temperature indicators), the ConnectedLabel with Hive-Zox (pharma/healthcare supply chain smart labels), and PriceLink large-format digital signage with Fortech S.r.l. (fuel retail).

Ynvisible's go-to-market combines direct field sales in Europe (Sales Manager Europe covering DACH), OEM/embedded design-in partnerships (Sapphiros for diagnostic test readers under a 3-year exclusive supply LOI projected at 10M+ units annually), and a three-continent distributor network (Eukleed in France/Italy/Belgium; ED Technologies in South America; Ynvitech across China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan). Lead generation is event-driven, with presence at CES (120 qualified leads and 300+ interactions at CES 2026), Embedded World, NRF, EuroShop, and LOPE-C. Primary customer segments are Medical & Healthcare Diagnostics, Supply Chain & Logistics, Retail / Electronic Shelf Labels, Digital Signage & Smart Cities, Industrial IoT, and Anti-counterfeit & Security, served through a mix of mid-market and emerging SMB customers (Sapphiros, SpotSee, Fortech, Mimbly, Exevio, Digety, Hive-Zox).

Revenue model

1. Custom Display Prototypes & Design Services: Fee-based design and prototyping of customer-specific electrochromic display layouts, starting at €3,500 per design. Provides early-stage revenue and feeds the volume-manufacturing pipeline.
2. Volume Display Manufacturing (Contract Manufacturing): High-volume production of customized displays for OEM customers (e.g., Sapphiros, Hive-Zox, Fortech). Revenue scales with customer adoption; e.g., ~CAD $200k in contract manufacturing service revenue in first 5 months of 2026 with 30,000+ units delivered.
3. Evaluation Kits, Drivers & Online Shop Sales: Direct online storefront sales of evaluation kits (€135) and driver boards (€35 for 3; €190 with -55% promo) for developer/integrator evaluation. These are nominal handling/packaging fees rather than full product pricing.
4. R&D and Engineering Services: Bespoke R&D, engineering, and design services delivered to customers and partners (e.g., CHARISMA project work; custom driver development at €1,000 per 3 units).
5. Licensing of Display IP & Technology: Licensing of proprietary electrochromic display and printing IP to partners; reported as a potential revenue stream.

Core offering

Ynvisible Interactive designs, develops, and manufactures printed electrochromic e-paper displays that are ultra-low power, thin (under 300 µm), and flexible. Its displays are offered in segment, color, transparent, and large-format variants and are integrated by OEM customers into medical diagnostic readers, electronic shelf labels, smart labels, retail signage, and IoT devices. The company also delivers custom display design, prototyping, contract manufacturing, driver electronics, and licensing of its proprietary electrochromic ink and roll-to-roll printing IP.

Product overview

Ynvisible Interactive offers a vertically integrated product and service portfolio built around its proprietary printed electrochromic e-paper display technology. At the core are its E-Paper Displays — offered in segment, color, large-format (e.g., the Large Format Electronic Shelf Label Display), and transparent variants — supported by two key developer-facing modules, the Arduino-compatible E-Paper Display Kit / Evaluation Kit 5.2 and the Driver 5.2 (HW601FW2) with its I2C interface and Arduino library. On top of the core display hardware, Ynvisible delivers co-developed end-application products such as the TempSafe Electrocard (with SpotSee), ConnectedLabel (with Hive-Zox), and PriceLink (with Fortech), and enables customers to build bespoke products through Custom Display Prototypes (CDP), Electrochromic Inks, and a set of services including Contract Manufacturing (Volume Production), Prototype Production, R&D and Solutions, Licensing, and Custom Solutions.

Expansion highlights7 records

Broad incumbents

• E Ink Corporation: Dominant supplier of electrophoretic e-paper displays used in e-readers, ESLs, and signage. Directly competes with Ynvisible in the e-paper display category but uses vacuum-deposited rather than roll-to-roll screen-printed processes, and serves a much broader customer base.

Direct peers

• SES-imagotag: World leader in electronic shelf labels (ESLs) for retail, a primary target segment for Ynvisible's large-format e-paper displays. Competes for the same retail digital signage and dynamic pricing deployments that Ynvisible targets through its ESL product line.
• Pricer: Swedish ESL provider serving grocery and retail with electronic shelf labels and digital signage. Competes head-to-head with Ynvisible's ESL and digital signage offerings in the European retail market.
• VusionGroup (formerly SES): European leader in connected retail solutions and ESLs, formed through SES-imagotag's rebrand. Direct competitor for retail digital signage and electronic shelf label deployments where Ynvisible's large-format displays are positioned.
• SoluM: South Korean ESL and IoT solutions provider competing globally in electronic shelf labels for retail. Direct competitor in the ESL market where Ynvisible targets retailers with its printed electrochromic displays.

Emerging players

• Clearink Technology: Developer of reflective display technology (TIR) targeting ESLs, signage, and IoT applications with low power consumption and sunlight readability. Comparable to Ynvisible in positioning around ultra-low-power reflective displays for IoT and retail.
• FlexEnable: UK-based supplier of flexible organic LCD (OLCD) technology on plastic substrates. Comparable to Ynvisible in delivering flexible, thin display form factors for conformable and curved-surface applications.
• PragmatIC Semiconductor: UK-based flexible electronics manufacturer producing ultra-low-cost RFID and NFC chips using roll-to-roll manufacturing. Comparable to Ynvisible in applying printed/flexible electronics processes for cost-sensitive IoT applications.
• SmartKem: Developer of organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) technology used to drive flexible displays and sensors. Comparable to Ynvisible as a printed/flexible electronics technology supplier targeting next-generation displays.

Others

• Kateeva: Provider of inkjet deposition equipment used in OLED and printed electronics manufacturing. Adjacent to Ynvisible as a printed electronics ecosystem participant, with complementary manufacturing equipment rather than competing displays.
