This technology utilizes a wave-like “Ripple” animation effect for screen transitions, significantly reducing the flashing sensation typical of traditional ePaper page turns. This delivers smoother visual updates—crucial elements for dynamic Retail Media Networks (RMN) and point-of-purchase advertising.

“E Ink continuously refines ePaper technology to enhance color performance, further driving the penetration of ePaper applications in the advertising sector,” said JM Hung, General Manager of E Ink. “For our first small-format ESL product, we partnered with Airoha Technology, an IC design powerhouse renowned for its robust Bluetooth® wireless stability and exceptional anti-interference capabilities. Together, we are establishing a new technological milestone for diverse commercial applications across retail, logistics, and beyond.”

The World’s First Ripple ESL Chip: Airoha’s New AB161x Bluetooth Series

Airoha Technology’s newly launched AB161x series chips support all types of ESLs adopting the Bluetooth® SIG 5.4 standard. The exclusive new-generation 4.2-inch small-format Ripple™ ESL not only diversifies application environments but also specifically fulfills the emerging retail media demand for shelf labels that double as high-impact visual advertising mediums.

“Over the past two decades, Airoha Technology has accumulated rich wireless communication technology and customer service experience in the Bluetooth® audio sector,” stated YuChuan Yang, Senior Vice President at Airoha Technology. “Our Bluetooth® transmission chips demonstrate strong commercialization capabilities across diverse wireless communication scenarios. Not only have we expanded into the ESL ePaper application market, but we have also achieved mass production in our gaming HID (Human Interface Device) product lines. Centered on our deep foundational Bluetooth® wireless technology, we will continue to collaborate with global partners to pioneer broader commercial application markets.”

Independently tested at the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich, demonstrating up to 99.99% RF signal blocking across defence-relevant frequencies


Ottawa, Ontario – Newsfile Corp. – June 1, 2026 – Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) (“Focus” or the “Company“), a Canadian developer of high-grade flake graphite deposits and advanced graphite materials for battery, defence, and industrial applications, is pleased to announce that it has entered into a non-binding Letter of Intent (“LOI“) with PermaTint Ltd. (“PermaTint“) (Shielding Solution) of Concord, Ontario, a developer and manufacturer of specialty coatings, to evaluate the integration of the Company’s graphite into the formulation through planned validation testing, and to assess the potential acquisition or licensing of a proprietary radio frequency (“RF“) shielding coating formulation (the “Product“) containing graphite and demonstrating high-performance signal blocking capabilities.

The Product, which contains natural flake graphite, has been independently tested by Shielding Solution, a division of PermaTint, at the University of the German Federal Armed Forces in Munich (Universitat der Bundeswher Munchen) in accordance with internationally recognized standards (IEEE 299 and ASTM D4935), which measure how effectively materials and systems block radio frequency signals. Testing across frequencies ranging from 5 GHz to 40 GHz demonstrated shielding effectiveness of approximately 36 dB to over 50 dB depending on coating thickness, corresponding to the ability to block up to 99.99% of electromagnetic radiation.

Potential applications for RF shielding coatings include military and defence infrastructure, aerospace systems, secure communications environments, data centers, and protection of sensitive electronics from electromagnetic interference and signal intrusion. These applications are becoming critical as next-generation communications, electronic protection systems, and high-frequency technologies rapidly expand across defence and advanced technology sectors.

Additional testing across lower frequency bands (100 MHz to 8 GHz) confirmed consistent shielding performance across commercial and defence-relevant communication ranges, including 5G and wireless systems.

The Company intends to conduct validation testing using its own graphite material, with planned third-party testing to ensure direct comparability of results and accelerate potential commercialization efforts. This initiative builds on Focus’ advancing downstream processing capabilities, with graphite ore from the Lac Knife Project nearing completion at SGS Canada Inc (“SGS“) in Lakefield, Ontario (see news release dated March 2, 2026). The Company expects to have approximately 750-800kg of high-quality graphite concentrates, which will then be purified and upgraded for qualification and testing across multiple advanced material applications, including RF shielding.

The LOI outlines a framework under which Focus may acquire full intellectual property rights to the formulation or enter into a licensing arrangement to manufacture and commercialize the product, while maintaining flexibility to pursue partnerships with third parties to support scale and market adoption, with final terms subject to definitive agreement and completion of due diligence.

“Control of the electromagnetic spectrum is fundamental to modern military operations,” said Wayne Eyre, General (Ret’d), Advisor to Focus Graphite. “Technologies that can reliably block and manage electromagnetic signals are critical to protecting communications, infrastructure, and personnel. Pairing that capability with secure, allied graphite supply directly supports defence readiness and long-term resilience.”

“Graphite grade is the ultimate gatekeeper to high-value markets,” said Dean Hanisch, Chief Executive Officer of Focus Graphite. “North American producers cannot compete with adversarial supply on cost of capital or low-cost labour; we must lead on performance. Our unusually high-grade material is the key to unlocking premium, specialized downstream sectors like defence-grade RF shielding, where margins and performance requirements are high. As we finalize our concentrate work at SGS, this RF shielding formulation provides a clear, high-potential pathway to accelerate our downstream commercialization strategy.”

As governments and industry move to secure critical material supply chains, Focus continues to advance its strategy to supply high-performance graphite and downstream solutions aligned with G7 and allied priorities.

The Company continues to engage with partners across multiple sectors and welcomes collaboration opportunities related to graphite supply, thermal purification, and advanced materials development across defence, energy storage, and industrial applications.

Empowering Local SMEs to Unlock Growth Through ESG Certification


HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 1 June 2026 – Dah Sing Bank, Limited (“Dah Sing Bank” or “the Bank”) and the Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Association (“HKSMEA”) once again join forces this year to launch the “SME ESG Charter 2026” (“ESG Charter 2026”), further driving Hong Kong’s SMEs toward sustainable transformation. With a focus on advancing ESG efforts from “awareness” and “assessment” to “implementation” and “value creation”, it helps enterprises integrate ESG into their operational strategies and turn it into a driving force for business growth.

Over the past two years, more than 70 SMEs have successfully obtained free independent assessment and certification through the SME ESG Charter. This year, Dah Sing Bank and the HKSMEA further strengthen the ESG Charter 2026’s role as a platform for ESG implementation. Together with the online self-assessment tool and related support, they help businesses develop clear, practical action roadmaps—so they can steadily improve their ESG performance.

Ms. Phoebe Wong, Deputy Chief Executive, Senior Executive Director and Group Head of Personal Banking of Dah Sing Bank, said: “SMEs are one of Dah Sing Bank’s key customer segments and an important stakeholder group in our ESG strategy. As market focus on sustainable development continues to grow, enterprises are placing increasing value on the long-term benefits of ESG. At the same time, SMEs are facing rising ESG-related requirements from customers and business partners. This year, Dah Sing Bank will continue to support the SME ESG Charter. In addition to helping SMEs understand the essential requirements, we will also demonstrate through practical implementation examples that ESG is more than regulatory compliance—it can also strengthen competitiveness and unlock business opportunities. We look forward to supporting SMEs in progressively integrating ESG into their operations, building a more resilient foundation, and advancing sustainable development in a steady and sustainable manner.”

Mr. Andrew Kwok, President of HKSMEA, said: “After two years of promotion, we are delighted to see a significant increase in the number of SMEs participating in the SME ESG Charter and obtaining certification. This year, in addition to continuing to leverage our ESG online self-assessment platform to help more SMEs understand and put ESG into practice, we will further strengthen the mobilisation efforts of our ESG Ambassadors. We hope that the ESG Ambassadors will encourage more SMEs to participate in the SME ESG Charter by sharing their own experience. At the same time, we will actively seek recognition from the Government and relevant regulatory authorities to enhance the SME ESG Charter’s credibility and acceptance.”

SMEs can apply to join the ESG Charter 2026 between 1 June 2026 and 15 November 2026. Dah Sing Bank and the HKSMEA will continue to provide comprehensive support to participating SMEs through promotional activities, workshops, technical consultations, audits and certifications, public education, and strengthening corporate connections, all of which are aimed at assisting SMEs in their transition towards economic sustainability.
