are e-Paper displays really still that expensive to manufacture or is this a monopoly thing?
@noiob they're really hard to make with double digit refresh rates and harder still with colour
@kyra the monochrome ones are really expensive too
@kyra actually, two-color ones probably just have two kinds of pigment in the screen, that's why they're that slow (and much faster when used in monochrome mode), the full-color ones are the really complicated ones
@kyra btw, fun fact: eink screens have temperature sensors because the properties of the fluid in the display change with temperature
@kyra I figured, but considering they're made of bubbles with the color inside it must be a lot more complicated to create small squares with different colors than just one big monochrome screen
