That's the GP's point. Of course the update rate sucks because enough research hasn't been put into it.
There are already E-Ink displays with much a faster update rate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsY3T1uzjAI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsY3T1uzjAI
Who knows how much faster this could get with enough investment? Unless there's some fundamental physical limitation to the update rate that I'm not aware of.
- IshKebab 9y agoHa that video is not a fast update rate. It's just only updating a small bit of the screen at a time so you can't really see the slowness. Modern kindles are pretty fast but not video speed, and they still have to blank the screen after a few updates.
- avar 9y agoYes, obviously I'm not going to be linking to a video showing a technology that doesn't exist yet. The video serves to demonstrate that given some technological development the entire screen could be like that, and aside from that there are E-Ink screens in common use that can't refresh even such a small area that fast.

- j_s 9y agoIt's unfortunate that so much of this specific content is locked up as video. The part is $35 shipped on AliExpress, a great way to begin experimenting.
- mavhc 9y agoUnedited video is the fastest kind of content to produce, and the slowest to consume. Edited video is the slowest kind of content to produce.
- j_s 9y agoUnfortunately for me even edited video is still tougher to consume than the written word, when it comes to technical content. I have a much easier time digesting information at my own pace.
