BMW to showcase colour-changing E Ink technology at Waterway Point.

Singapore. BMW Asia is excited to welcome Munich-based Dr Stella Clarke, Research Engineer, Open Innovations, BMW Group, to the Circle Of Joy showcase at the West Wing Village Square of Waterway Point, where she will be part of a panel discussion to talk about her experiences with today’s latest technology on 18 November, from 2pm to 3pm. Dr Clarke led her team to create the colour-changing capabilities of the BMW iX Flow and BMW i Vision Dee.

“After showcasing the BMW i Vision Dee for the first time in Southeast Asia earlier this year at BMW Joy Electrified at Suntec City, we are delighted to have Dr Stella Clarke share her insights with us in person,” said Lars Nielsen, Managing Director, BMW Group Asia. “Dr Clarke has continuously pushed the boundaries of automotive personalisation, and we cannot wait to see how far her vision will bring the BMW Group into the future. This is a reminder to us all that if you can dream it, you can be it!”

E Ink technology.

Following the spectacular debut of the BMW iX Flow featuring E Ink at CES 2022, the BMW Group unveiled a full-colour version of the E Ink technology on the BMW i Vision Dee at CES 2023.

BMW i Vision Dee, rather than simply alternating between black and white, showcased a multi-coloured, fully variable and individually configurable exterior. An ePaper film from the BMW Group’s cooperation partner, E Ink, is applied to the body to create this magical display of colour. Up to 32 colours can be displayed.

The body surface of the BMW i Vision Dee is divided into 240 E Ink segments, each of which is controlled individually. This allows an almost infinite variety of patterns to be generated and varied within seconds. The laser cutting process used to trim the films and the electronic control design were developed in partnership with E Ink. The adaptation of this technology for curved surfaces and the programming of the animations, were developed by BMW Group’s in-house engineers – enabling a form enabling a form of customisation that is unique throughout the automotive sector worldwide.

During the panel discussion, Dr Clarke will be showcasing samples of the E Ink panels from the BMW iX Flow and BMW i Vision Dee.
