I wish Sharp Memory LCDs[1] were made in 20"+ format. They're a hybrid between LCDs and E-paper displays with extremely fast refresh rates and the contrast is almost as good as ePaper displays.

I think monochrome displays would be fantastic for distraction-free coding or reading.

What's interesting is that you just need to toggle VCOM signal either through software or external source every 1-2 seconds for about 10ms. Therefore, you can keep the content on the display's memory for years on a coin cell battery.

Fascinating stuff. I wish this technology was available for computer monitor usage. I'd love to try it out.
