Same, the first 13" colour e-ink that doesn’t cost more than a single limb I’m so getting if I can swing it. I read digit comic books so much and having it as e-ink is my dream.
Gonna be really useful for solar power builds.

I’m very interested for when a price is announced for this
Hopefully it’s reasonable
What would you regard as reasonable? If I recall correctly, 800 dollars was the price for the last 13 inch e ink display I saw.
That brings it outside of the reasonable range for most people, I would think.
Am I right in suggesting that e-ink displays remain artificially overpriced because of the company that ultimately owns the patent?
I would seriously consider something like this since my computing job requires me to stare at a light bulb all day. Perhaps there’s a demographic that would spring for this in the same way there is for quality chairs.
offices seem like a prime target for e-ink displays while it stays in this expensive early stage
I have assumed prices are high because it’s a small market, at least with the current technology.
Double-sided phone could be pretty neat.
What would be cooler is if we could build our own phones, like we can desktops, so it can have exactly the features and specs we want.
There’s nothing technically stopping you from building an android smartphone just the way you like. In fact, there’s extreme modding folks that do things like already. What we really lack is a future-proofed connector standard for component connectivity that just works.
Project Ara, you can find it on the Google Graveyard :)
There’s a brand called HiSense doing exactly that. Look for the A6L model.
Soooo glad it’s open-source!
The controller, yes. The display itself, no, as far as I can tell.
Any part being open-source is better than nothing!
I dont want these small ones, I want a 55 inch one, so I can just have rotating art on the wall.
I’ve seen a 36 inch 3-color one, but I can’t find the supplier anymore. It’s used for signage. I honestly don’t know why this isn’t a bigger thing for signage.

Slightly smaller than the one I saw, but better colors.
I saw a few of these some years back and I thought, yes its ganna hit the commercial market and we will get better and larger. Then it just fell off into a pit.
Damn, I LOVE e-ink screens, I’d love to have almost all my devices using it, I love to read freely without getting eye strain from it. I’d even give away being able to watch videos in my phone for an e-ink screen.
But it seems like I will never be able to use it anywhere besides my cheap second hand ereader… the prices are always astronomically high :( even chinese e-ink tablets are too expensive for me.
How does this compare to the Daylight device?
