Any mention of the refresh rate? I didn’t see that in this article and thats usually the downside. Completely fine for books, comics etc but maybe not the best for a computer monitor
We can see it refreshing in the video, the “refresh rate” doesn’t look much better than an e-reader and the device is very expensive, but it’s the first of its kind. Honestly if it was the price of a regular OLED screen of 25" I’d consider buying it to code.
Second on if affordable, I’d buy it… and I don’t even code much anymore. For anything that doesn’t need to be rapidly refreshed (I.E just about anything that’s not watching/editing videos or playing games), this will be so much more comfortable for extended use!
Sadly, the technology stagnated for quite some time. This along with the physical nature of how the displays function (moving the pigment particles closer and further from the viewing plane) makes high refresh rates unlikely.
You can kinda cheat and get the refresh rate down to 300ms with partial refresh but that’s still one hundred times slower than a 30hz conventional display.

Its not on their website either
It must be … bad.
Its also 1750 bucks… lol
It might be more of a proof of concept… It’s the first of it’s kind, so I’d check back where this tech is a few years down the line

It can hit a smooth 30 SPF

There’s a video in the article that made it look reasonable for office work.
The video has some brief glimpses of scrolling. You’re not gonna want to watch video on this thing.
I love how she’s watching YouTube in the thumbnail, doesn’t make any sense on an e ink display?
