Fast, color e-paper touchscreen from Asus spotted at Computex
ComputexAt trade fairs like Computex 2026, sometimes it is the quiet and discreet exhibits that are interesting, rather than those announced with great fanfare. In Taipei, the primary focus is on "the new PC era" based on the RTX Spark, proclaimed by Nvidia's Jensen Huang the day before the show began. Together with partners like Microsoft, Dell, Asus and HP, there are plenty of new laptops and mini-PCs, which aren't expected to be truly available until fall 2026 and possibly not as expensive as originally anticipated.
While the new ProArt RTX Spark designs are only shown behind closed doors, the Asus booth also features items that weren't widely announced but could be quite interesting for some. For example, a 13.3-inch color e-paper display with a very high resolution of 3,200 x 2,400, 300 ppi, and a relatively fast 35 Hz refresh rate. While it doesn't quite reach the speeds of top-of-the-line models like those from Modos that can reach up to 75 Hz, it is at least sufficient for displaying YouTube videos, as demonstrated by the display unit.
Hands-on with the first color Asus e-paper display
The complete tech spec sheet is still pending. Asus is also yet to provide any concrete information regarding pricing or global availability, but the MP13UC model is expected to be released in Europe. It will likely also come with the flexible ATS01D mini stand, which is height-adjustable, rotatable, tiltable, and folds down to a very compact size. The e-ink display can reproduce 4,096 colors and is designed to reduce ghosting artifacts; it is flicker-free and emits no blue light.
Plenty of ports on the bottom
In the short video below, one gets a better idea of the video quality of the Asus Zenscreen e-paper display. The color intensity isn't comparable to an OLED display and is somewhat pale. On the other hand, the touchscreen consumes very little power and can even display a static image without a power source, making it suitable for use as a digital picture frame or a 13-inch digital display. On the bottom, you'll find HDMI, Mini DisplayPort and USB-C ports, as well as the power button.
