eink should die already. There are other options rather than eink, microLED and some of the newer low refresh LCDs (Clearilk comes to mind) should be much better. https://www.displaydaily.com/article/press-releases/clearink-displays-moving-focus-to-asia https://www.displaydaily.com/article/press-releases/clearink...
Lenovo is interested and made a thinkpad with eink so it shouldn't come from a weird no name company in the future.

- Waterfall 6y agoIt doesn't matter for a stationary screen
- azinman2 6y agoIt certainly does depending on your application. Grocery stores use them for prices where you wouldn't want a glow and low power means you can run off a battery. If I integrated into my walls as a smart device I would want a subtle design without a glow. These are just two examples off the top of my head. The application matters. Also where did this stationary context come from?
- Waterfall 6y agoPeople are asking about using it as a monitor in the comments. Grocery stores can do wireless power but the comments are complaining about them being too big or small. You can easily have a non backlit black and white display, like the one on an f91w or LCD clock.
