         | Eh, there's a lot more to replacing e-ink than than just length

         | energy required to flip the pixels and also the pigment grain
         | which dictates the resolution, plus the pitfalls that come with
         | going high-res with pigment display such as ghosting,
         | blurryness, etc.

         | Seeing as these are all thick segment displays, I doubt that
         | company will be making Kindle-level displays any time soon, but
         | for stuff like thermometers, clocks, bus/rail time tables,
         | notice boards, etc. it looks sick.
