E Ink seems to be one of the technologies that is hampered solely by patents. It's too sad that we're only going to get major innovations in e ink tech in 15-20 Years...

Re: E Ink Waveforms are a closely guarded secret
#22Recently, I brought a Dasung paperlike HD to use as a monitor. (crazy expensive, prob should've spend money elsewhere...) I thought some things were impossible with eink, but it proved me wrong. (video in a reasonable fps) It has a few different ways of display. For example: Floyd–Steinberg dithering: essentially only black and white with dithering, and the speed pretty good. A16: uses 16 shades of grey, but the spee…

Why would you use an e-ink display for videos? The main advantage is the low power consumption because it needs power only to refresh, using it for a video it will negate that advantage and draw much more power than a traditional display with an awful image quality...
2. Visual snow syndrome: Many had their first experience of visual snow after staring into the screen for too long. People who believe in that is the cause of visual snow would want a screen that does not emit light.
Re: E Ink Waveforms are a closely guarded secret
#26Is it really "closely guarded", or "worst guarded"? Anyone with a logic analyser and a few hours can probably figure it out easily enough... and some have even gone beyond what the official controllers can do: https://hackaday.io/project/11537-nekocal-an-e-ink-calendar/...

#27The post identifies some on market E-ink display components and discusses the design of a proprietary display driver.

What fps do u get on those modes?
It is reasonable enough to see what's happening, but obviously, I'm not going to watch a movie on that.

I don't have an easy way to measure the FPS, but here is a video I just took. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xW-gatdEC7w It is reasonable enough to see what's happening, but obviously, I'm not going to watch a movie on that.
