Today we find ourselves surrounded by a multitude of brightly glowing LCD (or LCD-like) screens. It’s time to try e-ink. I still remember the blog post that hooked me on e-ink as a technology. It showcased high-quality microscopic images, placing an LCD screen, an e-ink display, and printed paper side by side. The unexpected extent of the similarities between the e-ink display and paper captured my attention and hooked me on the potential of e-ink displays. In this talk, I will take you through the collaborative multi-part journey to support Pimoroni 7-color e-ink displays in Scenic and Elixir. I will delve into the special considerations required when working with e-ink screens and share my personal use case, highlighting how my e-ink screen has become a crucial component of my home office automation setup.
