The 22 participating e-paper ecosystem partner companies include E Ink Holdings, the event organiser, and Solomon Systech, Netronix Inc., Readmoo, Ubright Optronics – Zhunan, Fitipower, Xuan Tong System Integration, G-Tech Optoelectronics, Corning Taiwan, Marketech International Corp., L&L Interiors Inc., Kuen Yuh Machinery Engineering, Himax Technologies, Global Lighting Technologies, Jhen Jhuan Co., Innolux, Elan Microelectronics, DarSheng Mechanical Engineering, Integrated Solutions Technology, Ushine Photonics, Lian Cang Jiao Tong, and Lee Ming Construction.

Mr. Raymond Wang, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of Solomon Systech said, “This year marks the eighth year of the community project “eRead for the Future”, with our Group participating for the third year. With the goal of “one school, one e-book mobile library”, the project has reached out to sponsor 214 schools and 29 libraries, benefiting 69,000 students over the years. In addition to being portable and not straining the eyes of users, e-books also produce lower carbon emissions during their use cycle than traditional printed books. Through the project, we hope to provide beneficiary students with e-books and e-book readers that are both friendly to the eyes and the environment, while also teaching them the concept of environmental sustainability through the selected reading materials.”
