EInk displays are very cool in their specific use cases, but not where the screen need refreshed frequently.

Pros:

  • very crisp display. Work great in full sun.
  • text usually looks very good on these displays
  • 0 power usage when not refreshing the screen.
  • display remains as-is even if power is removed. Potentially for hours/days

Cons:

  • expensive vs LCD
  • refreshing the whole screen can take several seconds
  • limited to B&W or sometimes one additional color
  • not visible in the dark or in low light.

Some good use cases:

  • Price/ID tags
  • Thermometer or other slowly changing sensors
  • Clocks (without seconds)
