If you're into looking at different dithering techniques, there are a few interesting ones compared in this old CodeGolf question (disclaimer: I'm the one with the Fortran answer)

In terms of battery powering it, I wonder how many amps it takes to power a refresh. The Salt driver is 12v, which I guess can be shut down between refreshes.
There's some projects that forego a driver ASIC entirely and drive the waveforms directly from a MCU, although I guess this large panel has a different voltage domain.
That's a very neat project. The only issue I have with it is that it's basically a passive energy waster. It produces images by burning GPU power, when it could instead curate art from an existing amount of art (of which there is more to ever go through, almost in any category). Some projects that use AI could be replaced with other tech and be much more efficient.
I think it simply uses some API to generate the images.
For that price, you can buy a 42" color printer.
When are we going to have cheaper e-ink screens available? Anyone know if the situation has changed in the last couple of years? See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26143779
Realistically, it’ll be when the patents expire.
LED panels got cheap because we built factories that pump out a lot of them.
Well done. There would be so many more cool applications of e-ink if it wasn't $2,500 for a 42" display: https://shopkits.eink.com/en/product/detail/42''MonochromeeP... (minimum order 3) For comparison a 42" full-color 60fps TV with remote, speakers, wifi, etc. etc. is $140. It seems like the patent holder could be making a lot more money if they dropped the price.
