Founded in 2023 in Pessac near Bordeaux, Luchrome develops Lusight™, an electrochromic, bistable e‑paper display printed by screen‑printing onto paper without solvents or rare metals. The technology, originating from academic research at the Institut de Chimie de la Matière Condensée de Bordeaux, is produced locally in Pessac and is claimed to consume ten times less energy, cost one‑third of conventional displays to produce and have up to sixty times lower environmental impact. Luchrome targets IoT applications including cold‑chain monitoring for high‑value pharmaceuticals, logistics labels, smart packaging and single‑use medical diagnostics, with a near‑term commercial goal of 25 million units and Lusight™ available for pre‑order in 2026. The company has formed a partnership with BeFC to pair its paper display with a compostable paper‑based battery and has been scaling manufacturing capacity with funds raised to acquire a second industrial tool.
