There're only a couple of lines coming out of each display, fewer for the Ford ad (4, I think, w/ 2 not-connected leads, 6 for the Esquire cover), and the animation works if one plugs in the connector upside down (just in reverse order for the Esquire cover, only 2 regions for the Ford ad).
But, it seems one could by-pass the controller and develop a small board to flip the e-ink particles w/o using the provided controller --- it'd have to be strong enough to work through the metallic backing unless one could delaminate it --- but you could hopefully address a fine enough grid to do something interesting.
