You sure? I was oriented towards understanding the opposite...

The *prototype* was using 8 colors, the technology is made for 4096.
4096 (12 bits, I guess 16 shades per tint like e-ink) is plenty, and with high resolution and dithering it means perceptually more than the usual 24 bits, the millions of colours (to instead answer other criticism in a different thread).
30 fps is plenty, we have been using 24 (? memory) for the final deliverable for a century, and the frame switch consumption should be minimal ("the enegy to move a single particle for half a micron") so hours and hours should be more than granted.
