    I worked on the original Amazon Kindle, and one time I had left a prototype device in the window sill for a few days and then found that the screen had turned completely dark, although it cleared up the next time I rebooted it and refreshed the screen. My theory about what happened there was that the photovoltaic effect caused the screen charge to very slowly change, causing the black ink balls to eventually drift to the surface.

    Once again, a truly beautiful video.
    Regarding the diffusion layers: you might be able to get acceptable results by squishing a droplet of water between the display and a piece of glass (similarly to microscope slides). It should work best if you find a liquid with a refractive index as close as possible to the display's transparent plastic. You can also experiment with oil, alcohol or water with some added salt or sugar to find the best match

    This e-paper stuff always fascinated me since the first day I saw an e-book tablet as a kid, while it's really niche as a product, I've always hoped it as a cool futuristic replacement for certain things in the future, like paintings, books in libaries etc.
    Doubt it'll actually become anything big until some sort of breakthrough new invention happens, or until patents are made public.

      Like @fouzr said, I have a ReMarkable and it has made a huge difference in my life. I am a habitual note taker and journal-er, and it fills a niche that a tablet never did for me. The price point is terrible and I honestly can't wait for the patents to run out so that e-paper is made public.
      The thing that sold me on my ReMarkable was the fact that it lasts for a week on a single charge. E-paper is such an efficient display technology. As long as you do not need a high refresh rate, it's perfect.

    • @fouzr

      @@HappyJackington yup, the reMarkable is an excellent example. I own one myself, and love using it on the daily. And as a bonus, it’s a fairly open embedded Linux machine, which lets you tinker with it quite a bit

They’re simultaneously very simple to drive, yet also very hard to drive _well_ (note in the macro of the thermometer refresh how it has to do multiple write/clear cycles and that during them, the segment sizes grow, and that the segments that are “off” have a gray outline).
