Do not forget that "paper" vs "electronic" signage have different processes and costs (e.g. printing process vs `showimage poster.jpg`).

Also, "signage" is not limited to advertisement and information for customers. Big reflective colour displays are sought of in home and office environments.

I don't know, but you may be interested: E-Ink has a website page about Corporate Social Responsibility,
