E Ink Partners with Realtek to Introduce Second-Generation System-on-Panel Electronic Shelf Label E Ink Holdings Inc. announced its collaboration with Realtek Semiconductor to unveil the second-generation System-on-Panel (SoP) electronic shelf label (ESL) reference design. This innovative solution simplifies ESL development, significantly reducing the barrier to entry. Under identical display areas, the new-generation design achieves approximately a 30% reduction in thin-filmistor (TFT) size and a 50% decrease in flexible printed circuit (FPC) dimensions. This enables streamlined ESLs with slimmer borders perfectly suited for diverse retail environments. The SoP technology integrates components directly onto ePaper, glass, or flexible substrates, combining integrated circuits, panels, and system design into a unified ePaper display solution. The second-generation SoP incorporates Realtek's Bluetooth chipset using Chip-on-Glass (CoG) technology, creating the world's first device embedding a Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit (RFIC) directly onto glass. This advancement minimizes material usage, reduces product size, simplifies manufacturing processes, and delivers a more efficient, environmentally sustainable display solution. The second- generation SoP design increases efficiency through an optimized circuit layout and transmission line architecture, allowing signal transmission distances to approach those of traditional shelf labels. Additionally, the FPC is integrated onto the back of the panel, further reducing the device size and material usage, resulting in a more energy-efficient and eco-friendly ESL solution that aligns with ESG principles for sustainable development. The SoP design integrates an RF chip onto a 2.66-inch e-paper display glass substrate using Realtek Semiconductor's next-generation Redistribution Layer (RDL) technology, replacing traditional wire bonding packaging. These advancements make it commercially viable, and the deep integration of semiconductors and display panels provides a foundation for the next generation of retail products. As a pioneer in ePaper technology, E Ink is dedicated to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040. Beyond the inherent sustainability benefits of ePaper products, E Ink proactively optimizes product designs to enhance environmental friendliness. Furthermore, ESLs significantly reduce carbon emissions. For example, over the past seven years, approximately 600 million 3-inch ePaper labels have been installed globally. Changing pricing information four times daily, traditional paper labels produce 32,000 times more carbon dioxide than ePaper labels. Similarly, 30 million 10-inch electronic advertising displays globally, used continuously for five years, produce 12,000 times more CO2 emissions if utilizing LCD technology compared to ePaper. Compared to disposable printed paper, dynamic ePaper displays emit 60,000 times less CO2. The second-generation Sop ESL will be showcased at E Ink's booth (#L717) during Touch Taiwan 2025 from, April 16 to 18. Visitors are welcome to experience the latest innovation firsthand.

ParkerVision Inc Receives Favorable Markman Rulings in Infringement Actions Against MediaTek Inc., MediaTek USA Inc. and Realtek Semiconductor Corp ParkerVision Inc. announced that the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas issued its Markman, or claim construction, rulings in ParkerVision's patent infringement actions against MediaTek Inc. and MediaTek USA Inc. and Realtek Semiconductor Corp. The Court's claim constructions are largely favorable to ParkerVision. The Court held back-to-back Markman hearings on Friday, January 26, 2024, for the MediaTek and Realtek actions. Consistent with its standard practice, the Court issued preliminary rulings on the disputed claim constructions in advance of the Markman hearings. The Markman hearings were then held to allow the parties to present arguments with regard to any of the Court's preliminary rulings that they wished the Court to reconsider and/or fine-tune. In ParkerVision v. MediaTek, the Court adopted ParkerVision's proposed claim constructions for 13 of 16 disputed terms while adopting two proposed terms for MediaTek, and one term the Court construed on its own. In ParkerVision v. Realtek, the Court adopted ParkerVision's proposed claim constructions for nine of 10 disputed terms, with the one remaining term being a combination of the proposals from both parties. These MediaTek and Realtek infringement actions were initially filed in November 2022 and allege infringement against both parties of the same four ParkerVision patents. Both cases are scheduled for jury trial in December 2024. The Company has inter partes review actions pending against one of the patents. In 2023, ParkerVision filed two additional infringement cases against MediaTek and one new infringement case against Realtek alleging infringement of different ParkerVision patents.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows.

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 108% Cash payout ratio: 244% Dividend yield: 6.9% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend.

Ubiik and Realtek Announce Nimbus 220, a Dedicated NB-IoT Module for Upper 700 MHz A Block (3GPP band 103) - Perfect for Utilities and IoT Applications Ubiik has joined forces with Realtek Semiconductor Corporation, to deliver Nimbus 220, an NB-IoT module based on Realtek RTL9518 chipset, and optimized for operation in Upper 700 MHz A Block band. This is an important development for the utility and IoT markets in the US, as the joint development will allow license holders of Band 103 to fully utilize this prime 1 MHz paired spectrum by leveraging advanced features such as non-anchor carriers and Non-IP Data Delivery (NIDD). After Select Spectrum and Access Spectrum have announced that the Upper 700 MHz A Block is officially designated in 3GPP Release 16 as "NB-IoT Band 103" for 4G and 5G services, Ubiik and Realtek are now partnering on the development of this NB-IoT module allowing Ubiik's cellular base station goRAN™ to address current gaps in the North American market for band 103 (787-788 MHz uplink and 757-758 MHz downlink). With NB-IoT using as little as 180 kHz of spectrum, and being able to scale up by utilizing multiple carriers simultaneously, companies who are currently utilizing this band now have the possibility to add standard-compliant NB-IoT to deliver affordable, long-range connectivity to low-power or low-throughput devices. With this partnership, Ubiik aims to expand its reach in the North American market and provide customers with reliable private LTE connectivity. The module, whose embedded processing unit can support ANSI meters and other applications/protocols, will be launched together with goRAN™ base stations and showcased at Distributech 2023 booth #1637 in San Diego from February 7th to 9th, 2023.
