On August 27, 2025, the 3rd E-Paper Industry Innovation Conference (ePIC 2025) was grandly held at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center during the 24th International Internet of Things (IoT) Exhibition. The conference was guided by the E-Paper Industry Alliance and co-hosted by CINNO・ePaper Insight, Shenzhen IoT Industry Association, and Shenzhen Commercial Display System Industry Promotion Association.

Focusing on innovations and creations in the e-paper industry over the past year (2024-2025), the awards ceremony for the 2024-2025 E-Paper Industry Creativity & Innovation "Pioneer" Award was announced and held at ePIC 2025. A number of enterprises were honored and showcased their innovations/creations as well as the stories behind them.

Congratulations to Hanvon Technology on Winning the "Pioneer" Award for E-Paper Technological Innovation at ePIC 2025

The magneto-capacitive touch chip HW0888 is a new-generation dual-mode electromagnetic-capacitive touch chip developed by Hanvon Technology. Building on its 25-year technical foundation in its traditional strength—electromagnetic touch—and integrating 15 years of capacitive touch technology development, this single chip enables both electromagnetic stylus writing and capacitive finger touch functions.

Electromagnetic touch and capacitive touch share the same chip and the same sensor, achieving a seamless integration of the two technologies for electromagnetic stylus writing and finger capacitive touch.

The electromagnetic touch adopts a passive electromagnetic stylus, which has no battery and requires no charging. The stylus is lightweight, supports 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, delivers professional drawing-grade performance, and offers an enhanced user experience. The shared sensor for both capacitive and electromagnetic touch reduces the stack thickness while cutting costs.

The magneto-capacitive touch solution boasts high user value, product value, and cost-effectiveness advantages for terminal devices that adopt both stylus and capacitive touch, such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and laptops.
