I believe a technology of this sort (not saying that this is it) could be the next big breakthrough for screens in general. Maybe I missed it but they do not mention refresh rate, which is the real barrier against using e-paper technology out of ebook readers, so fixing that would be the next step.
Whenever I use a smartphone in sunlight, it feels like broken technology, something we'd laugh about in hindsight. Resolution, color gamut and refresh rate seem "solved", sunlight reflection is the only thing that still sucks. I'm sure there is a way to actually take advantage of reflectivity instead of desperately fighting it (we're literally fighting the sun). It's too useful to not be discovered, eventually. I'm waiting, patiently.
I've long hoped for large e-paper displays for displaying artwork. For that application, refresh rate wouldn't matter at all, and even monochrome would be fine. But it's been decades and we're...
I've long hoped for large e-paper displays for displaying artwork. For that application, refresh rate wouldn't matter at all, and even monochrome would be fine. But it's been decades and we're still not there, at least at affordable prices. A good color printer probably makes more sense?
It seems like any new display technology faces a pretty steep uphill battle for cell phones.
we share the dream! Back in 2016, e-ink demo'd some amazing panels, but I think e-ink's licensing is expensive to the point where the technology isn't profitable for third parties --- but I could...
