Large format e-ink

[prom king]

Lately, I've been having a daydream of having a movie poster-size e-ink paper in color on the wall that features movie posters, refreshing every few hours or so.

How much would something like that be feasible?

A good color e-ink doesn't exist yet. No idea if it ever will.

There are large screens intended for such use --- but they are all LED or some similar technology.

Well, if you can accept monochrome...

(This appears to be a 25")

It can be yours for about $1500.

The various colour filtered eink (4000 shades/hues) and later colour AECP (more shades/hues but very slow, up to 1.5 seconds) are best suited to poster applications, not ereaders.

Indeed.

Yes, the movie poster is available today if you have the money to waste. A 55″ 4K HDR on the wall with brightness adjusted by ambient light would be a lot cheaper and prettier. A shop with a load of eInk posters only changing every day or so saves a lot of electricity and it still works with street light or daylight when power is off.

I think the eink poster price might be comparable to a 75″ 4K HDR TV which uses a lot of power.

Eink (the company) starting to push the idea of eink (the technology) posters (monochrome at the moment though):

Hello, the link to the 25 inch gallery 3 (AC253TT1) no longer works: https://shopkits.eink.com/en/product...splay(AC253TT1)

It looks like it disappeared from their website. Does anyone know if this was discontinued or something?

Thanks

I think that might be a different product. GalleryPlus displays are full colour but you've linked to a Spectra display which can only do black, white, red and yellow. E Ink have so many different technologies it's confusing.

Here's the URL to the 31.2" color display. https://shopkits.eink.com/en/product...lay(SB1452-QAA)

In recent months, new e-ink epaper devices have been released and we have reached 31" with 60,000 colours.
I asked to make a wall display and how to manage it outdoors.
Unfortunately they are unable to lower the resolution for large formats and therefore the costs as they are always based on TFT panels.

Those are for shop poster/displays. They are x10 too slow at least for an ereader and can be over 2000x slower than state of the art OLED or LCD or QLED panels with true matt finish.
