I do not want to be staring at a backlit display the rest of my life. It’s terrible for eyesight and probably contributes to headache, burnout, etc. There are a lot of promising technologies out there, and they just need some improvement on cost, refresh rate, power consumption, etc… I would love to be able to go “back to paper” for most of my workday.

I'm afraid the most demand would come from those engineers who create the apps that glue everyone to their glowy screens, and from the sort of parents who have a zero-screens policy (those would be for themselves). Hardly a market that will get any VC excited.

It may be niche at first, but imagine if the output was moving some wooden sculpture or the output changed an analog letter board. Would create a bit of permanence rather than everything digital being so transient.
