Signs that only need power when the message changes. You can have a separate device that is attached only when you want to change.

Really? e ink screens are more expensive in every size due to lower production volumes compared to tens of millions of lcd screens produced every year . If I had found a decent e ink for 160.00 I would have bought it. I still think e ink e readers will mostly vanish in the next 12 to 18 months due cost to performance ratios.
