Somewhat unrelated, but I'm still waiting for an affordable PC monitor based on e-ink technology. Dasung has been making some progress in the area but their products are quite expensive, around $1000 or more for anything with a useable size. People might disagree on the count of lack of colors, but to me e-ink technology seems very well suited for writing code. And who knows, maybe in a decade or so the refresh rates for these color e-ink might be in a usable range as well.

I have a similar interest. Just wanted to plug Modos here, they're working on Open Source Hardware E-ink laptop that, while not available for purchase just yet, looks pretty interesting to me!

What have Dasung got in that direction?

I linked it below but this display looks pretty cool to me -

32", 4k colors, ~2 second refresh. Unfortunately also $2.2k!

I just don't understand. In what other product category do we see barely any finished products and mostly just working prototypes without housing, etc. like in this video?

Sure, this technology is new and expensive, but so are foldable phones, for example.

Really not a clue.

I guess a major indicator of progress in this market will be Amazon releasing a colour kindle (if they even want to bother), as that will both indicate prices and performance has become "good enough", and be a further driver on both.

Until then, a $2200 32" screen with a 2-second refresh time is a curiosity more than a product. I think, so far, epaper/eink has hit some sort of wall with it not having quite as many use-cases as people assumed.
