> Most other competitors to eInk (e.g. Qualcomm/Mirasol, Gyricon, etc.) had viable products and have completely failed in the market. I wasn't aware Mirasol ever made it out of handmade demo units. Maybe they did manage to produce some production level small displays like 4" but I heard from a fab guy in Longtan that they just couldn't get the process to work reliably. > consumer disinterest in the technology outside of these extremely niche markets? Consumers would be interested if they could be cheap and fast like LCD. But E-Ink is probably never going to get fast because you can't bypass physics unless they find a different way to get pigment particles to move. It won't get cheap either because you need huge volumes to get there. So unless someone with Applesque bank account makes that order, E-Ink will always be more expensive than LCDs.
