How does e eink screen work on a game console? The playdate screen is at least 30fps (and can actually refresh faster), even the fastest eink screens can't work at this speed without ghosting, and I don't want slower full refreshes while I'm playing a game.
- enduser 2y agoIt’s not E ink, it’s a Sharp Memory LCD https://sharpdevices.com/memory-lcd/ https://sharpdevices.com/memory-lcd/ Memory LCDs have fast refresh rates while also being persistent like E ink. They’re also more expensive.
- squeaky-clean 2y agoExactly, they're not asking how the playdate works with an eInk screen (because it doesn't have one). They're asking how colesantiago expects to use a game console with a 5hz screen.

- kragen 2y agothey aren't really bistable like epaper; the playdate display requires 50 microwatts to maintain the display. when i unplug mine from the breadboard it retains its image for about 30 seconds before fading just on the screen capacitance a broken epaper screen, by contrast, retains its image for at least several years
