Just been to Taiwan and Japan before. This form factor of e-ink display is super new. I believe it may well be made by one of the Taiwanese shops but badged by Sharp.

e-ink is a big deal in Taiwan right now. The prices should come down fairly steeply in the next year or two.

Yep the press release from sharp quotes it’s made by e-ink holdings of Taiwan.

I read that gallery plus displays are being used on the MRT (Taipei?) metro now - have you seen them?

I saw bus stops with eink posters showing upcoming arrival times in some cities in Taiwan. Not the best choice because refresh is very slow and they are hard to see at night.
