>> eInk still costs far too much per unit area.
Any idea what those ballpark figures look like today?
The E ink product you linked is a dev kit targeting a niche market, not a general CE product manufactured in the millions and benefiting from economies of scale...I'm simply not seeing the relevance of the comparison.
- Animats 10y agoeInk doesn't publicly release prices. It's a "contact sales" kind of business. Visionect's 9.7" e-ink sign, which is their version of a digital picture frame, costs $400.[1] That's a product, not a development kit. A comparable LCD digital picture frame from WalMart costs $70. Color, too. [1] https://www.visionect.com/product/visionect-sign-9-7/ https://www.visionect.com/product/visionect-sign-9-7/
- Ursa83 10y agoHi there, Ursa from Visionect here. Just a slight clarification: the 9.7 Sign is not a consumer product in the sense of a digital picture frame. Rather it is a sort-of development kit, a blank canvas device on which companies can develop their own products. So geared towards professional use. Plus, the battery lasts four months;)
