It's neither reasonable nor going down. I remember reading that full colour displays are not much costlier to manufacture than the greyscale ones, yet they still have a large price gap.
- m463 6y agoI believe this is a niche market. It would be nice to have the volume necessary to drive the price down (ane get the volume up) That said, having a display that refreshes in seconds vs single-digit milliseconds works to keep it niche.
- orev 6y agoIt’s a niche market because the prices are so unreasonably high. Plenty of people want e-ink displays to use with Raspberry Pis, which would then become prototypes for real products, which would then open up the market. But the e-ink people seem intent on keeping the technology restricted for some reason by keeping the prices high.
- morsch 6y agoI think it's much cheaper than eink's offerings. E.g. they want $149 for a 5.6 inch three color display https://shopkits.eink.com/product/5-65-spectra-3000-yellow-epaper-display-ea2220-egl/ https://shopkits.eink.com/product/5-65-spectra-3000-yellow-e...
