I'm one of the founders of Visionect (http://www.visionect.com http://www.visionect.com), that focuses on EPD solutions. We offer a bunch of development kits (6"-32") that can be easily productivized (our customers are building bus stops, traffic signs, museum signage, room booking systems,...)
There are no technological limitations in terms of the panel size (backplane technology is practically the same as TFT), but its rather a volume question.
We see this "personal display" theme pop-up quite often on our email, but the pricing is prohibitive (even compared to high quality and high resolution LCD consumer panel) and the refresh rate does impose a lot of limitations on what you can do.
I think that E Ink is best used for displaying information and use cases that benefit from E Ink itself (think high contrast, outdoor scenarios, indoor units that work 24/7, applications where you can power a display with a battery and reduce installation complexity).
- rneilan 10y agoThere is a minority of people who are interested in e-ink monitors because it's felt this type of screen does not trigger migraines. My experience with e-ink is with the Kindle, and it seems that I am not tensing up my forehead as much. My second point is going to sound a bit silly, but I'll put it out there anyway with the chance that someone relates. I think I have an Internet addiction problem, and I like the idea of making it a bit harder/slower to peruse the Internet. If it takes a site longer to load, I'm going to be more judicious in what I click on. Ok. Go ahead and laugh now.
