Introducing E Ink Kaleido 4!
This latest generation brings improvements that better support productivity-based activities on ePaper (e.g., digesting content like color PDFs, PowerPoint presentations, data charts, etc.).

fara’s work can be found here, really recommend checking out her other webgl/css/shader work too farayan.me/dappled

more fast e-ink! here’s @farayofsun’s beautiful dappled sun piece, and evan wallace’s webgl caustic renderer. i feel like pieces emulating nature work particularly well on this display.
and here’s @mxsage’s lovely “36 points” running on this 60hz eink panel with the @Modostech glider driver board

here’s a quick demo of a macos writerdeck i’m throwing together with this 60fps eink display. you can see more of the ghosting in this demo, but i feel it works well enough for light typing and browsing.

You probably don't need to know that:
For about 50 dollars you can add touch to any screen. I added touch to my 60fps eink screen!!!

Four years, countless PCB revisions, and one custom FPGA controller later: a 60fps, 300ppi, open-source E Ink monitor is finally real.

Yes!! Flickering emissive screens are entirely alien objects to our biology, acting as hypnotizing portals for our awareness, the foundation on which disembodied dissociation into the digital can occur.
Paper-like screens on the other hand are continuous with our environment. They let us to stay in our bodies, breathe easy, let the mind wander. It’s a much more species-appropriate and humane way of computing.

The founders of @Modostech share how they created the Modos Flow, a complete #e-paper monitor. ”We want the whole thing open source, so all our parts need to have open documentation with nothing gated behind an NDA.” buff.ly/amuDbfV

I have just made our latest product (Modos Flow) open-source: gitlab.com/zephray/enchanter. With complete source code (for both MCU and FPGA) and PCB design source file in KiCAD. It's a 300-ppi Eink portable monitor with 60Hz refresh rate and touch screen:

An e-ink display can be used as the front panel on a Steam Machine (used for testing by Valve, will not be for sale) youtu.be/bWUxObt1efQ?t=947
