I thought e-ink had a refresh rate limitation. What’s happening here. Anyone every design in e-ink?

It's not eInk but a transflective LCD, so in fact, completely different technology-wise. While it has faster refresh rate, it is not bi-stable, has lower contrast, worse viewing angles, etc. The main thing it has in common with eInk is that it works without a backlight.

Its not e-ink, its an ordinary transflective LCD display, similar to what you’d find on a digital watch or the Game Boy.

It's not actually e-ink like other devices, it's a different display tech where they've managed to basically nail it.

I'd love to see a full size display like this.

Dasung has eink HDMI monitors that have quite a high refresh rate. For a 25” monitor it runs about $1700. https://shop.dasung.com/

If anyone has pointers to how this mode works I'd be interested. It's 160dpi, which is lower than some eInk displays but faster refresh rate is good. Not using PWM to manage brightness is also good.

Have you used one? I have not (so this a genuine question!)

I am really skeptical of the ‘paper-like’ quality it supposedly has. Are the viewing angle and glare really not noticeable?

More holistically, does it actually ‘seem like’ paper in the same way a Kindle does? If it does not, I’m very down on calling it ‘e-paper’.

Sounds like vaporware.

From what I understand it's an LCD with some kind of coating they developed.
