Daylight DC-1 - Full speed E-Ink display?

Did this amount to anything? It would definitely solve THE pain point of current E-Ink if this was for real.

It's not E-Ink. It's a reflective Greyscale LCD. It's a nice technology. I had it in my Sony Clié SJ-20 back in 2002 or so.

I haven't heard anything about it myself. All the news seems a year old or so.

Daylight's marketing is a lot of self important hype and wellness woo-woo slathered on top of a pretty mediocre device. Interviews with the founder usually are just him rambling semi-nonsense about the woo-woo and not really about what the device actually does and is.

Yes.

It needs pretty bright light. Poorer than a 2005 eInk for brightness at ambient.

Seems like a lot of hype.

Edit:
Also The Verge article has a few glaring and blaring inaccuracies. You can turn down the brightness on OLED or LCD. You can make any display have a non-glare, non-shiny, matt surface, since for over 40 years. It just costs a bit more (not the amount Apple asks. See Act Sirius 1 / Victor 9000 in 1981, a Mitsubishi XGA colour CRT with flat and matt face in 1990s. Some laptops in 2002. The Nxtpaper from TCL (OLED & LCD) or similar idea from Hauwei and Lenovo.
The eink screens are not inherently non-shiny / matt, so it's part of why they are more expensive and many are micro textured plastic fronts rather than micro-etched glass (which is a lot more expensive). Some CRTs had a coating, but that's no use for a touch screen as it wears quickly.

"...wellness woo-woo slathered..."

"...semi-nonsense about the woo-woo..."

I learned a new word today! And funny, too! It reminds me of something smelly wrapped in diapers.

Somebody is milking this review for all it's worth.

That's why my unboxing review of the Go6 had one photo of the shipping box and one photo of the inside of the device.

I don't need to see someone opening the box. That's just a waste of time.

The good thing is you can actually skip to the part that's of interest to you.

That is the advantage of chapters.
