I'm also looking forward to using an eInk display for work, but I'm not quite as optimistic as you are for minimalism. As the technology improves we're going to see higher and higher framerates, and eventually color eInk will be affordable.
IMO it's much more likely that we'll end up with the same visually overloaded GUIs, just running on a color, 60fps eInk display than having the whole industry return to static black and white.
- qwerty456127 6y agoWhy use eInk then?
- FlyMoreRockets 6y agoValid question. eInk is draws much lower power than competitors and excels for sunlight readable displays. It also has superior contrast, improving readability.
- robinsoh 6y ago> As the technology improves It can't improve unless you change the underlying physics. Electrophoretic displays like E Ink's use particles in a solvent. They can't move fast because fast moving particles are not going to be stay in a stable position. Have a look at those displays from 2008 and compare it to 2020. The quality of the display has changed, contrast is better, but timing is still about half a second. Modes like A2 which is used by Dasung are just hacks that tradeoff speed for stability and perhaps even panel life / reliability. The startups doing fast displays typically use a different underlying physics. But no one wants to invest the necessary billions in them so they keep dying out like Liquavista, Mirasol and many others.
