01

Display What You Love

In business environments, EZ Sign has primarily been about practical applications. But at home, one of the first things users discovered was a much more personal way to enjoy it: displaying and showcasing what they love.

Some customers have turned their own artwork into EZ Sign displays, bringing their creations to life on E-paper.

Another customer created their own unique case for EZ Sign, transforming the display into a distinctive and portable piece!

We had also received comments like this during the Makuake* campaign:

*A Japanese crowdfunding platform

“It’s really interesting. I love how placing it next to something I want to display gives it a completely different look.”

Atsushi Saito — Makuake Backer Review

There’s no bright, glowing screen, no wiring, and no need to worry about cables.

 Its calm, paper-like appearance makes it easy to display your favorite artwork, characters, photos, and other personal images—almost like having a mini gallery at home.

02

Make Everyday Life a Little Easier

EZ Sign isn’t just for displaying things you love. It can also make everyday life a little easier by helping you organize and keep track of small pieces of information around the house.

One customer showed how EZ Sign can be used for storage and household organization, including how easy it is to transfer an image with just a tap of your smartphone.

EZ Sign isn’t just for business. At home, customers are finding their own creative ways to use it—from displaying personal artwork to organizing everyday spaces.

A note on the refrigerator. Today’s schedule. Storage labels. A welcome board for guests.

Instead of using paper or sticky notes, you can simply update the information from your smartphone whenever you need to. No ink, no cables, and no waste.

Once the display is updated, the information remains visible even without power!
03

The Real Magic: No Batteries

The battery-free advantage proven in demanding factory environments takes on a different meaning at home: it simply makes everyday life easier.

“It's great that it can be used without a battery!”

HiroyoshiMori — Makuake Backer Review

“After updating, the display remains visible without power, just like a printed image. The resolution is also very satisfying. Truly a product for its time.”

Deniro — Makuake Backer Comment

You don't need to worry about where the nearest outlet is. You don't need to think about charging.

That's why EZ Sign can simply be placed wherever you want it — deep inside a shelf, by the entrance, in the kitchen, or anywhere else.

04

Make Your Hobbies and Work a Little More Special

EZ Sign is also finding its way into personal creative projects and small businesses.

One customer uses EZ Sign for product descriptions and price tags for the hinoki wood tables, wooden goods, and camping gear he makes and sells himself.

Instead of using traditional handwritten cards, he can simply update the display whenever needed. The clean, paper-like look fits naturally with his handmade products without taking away from their aesthetic.

Many users also enjoy experimenting with color.

“The 4-color version is great because it can display multiple colors. I'd like to use each one differently.”

monograph — Makuake Backer Review

“I was impressed by how clearly it displayed the image — even better than I expected.”

MITA-3 — Makuake Backer Review

Use 2-color where you want to make quick changes. Use 4-color where you want the display to make a stronger visual impact.

Choosing the right version for each purpose — and experimenting with how you use it — is part of the fun.

05

Get One. Then Find a Place for Another.

“I should have bought two or three more.”

iroha-ni-warabi — Makuake Backer Review

“I've thought of all kinds of ways to use it and have been trying them out. It's extremely convenient.”

“I wish I had gone with the larger size.”

Noaku — Makuake Backer Review

Once you experience the convenience of being able to replace information so easily with a single device, you start thinking:

“What about over there?”
“And what about here?”

Before you know it, the little pieces of magic start spreading throughout the house at the entrance, on the refrigerator, at your desk, in the children's room...

The same strength we developed for business — the fact that EZ Sign becomes even more useful when you use multiple devices works just as well at home.

EZ Sign can be used throughout the home.

06

Users Are the Best Inventors

As we mentioned, some of the most creative ways to use EZ Sign have come from our customers themselves.

To put that idea to the test, we launched:

What Would You Do with EZ Sign? — EZ Sign Giveaway Campaign

The response was far greater than we expected. So many users took part and shared their ideas with us.

The ideas shared by the selected participants are more than just interesting examples.

At the same time, we received many comments about what users wished EZ Sign could do better:

  • “I want to quickly display an image I've already created.”
  • “I'd like the templates to be easier to use.”
  • “I want the app to be easier to understand.”

— All from Makuake backer reviews.

Each of these comments gives us valuable insight into how we can improve the app, product pages, and customer support.

EZ Sign is a product that changes its role depending on the person using it — just like paper, it can become whatever you need it to be.

Where will you place your little piece of magic?
