The ePaper stuff is interesting for retail, but the real test is the cost of replacing existing signage. If the payback period on energy savings is ten years, most owners will just stick with LEDs.

Agreed. I want to see the actual wattage drop per square inch compared to standard OLEDs. Low power is great, but scale is what matters for the grid.

Interesting to see carbon footprint mentioned in the R&D phase. Usually, this only happens after a regulation forces it. I wonder if they are targeting specific EU energy efficiency standards here.

AUO is pushing Micro LED and ePaper to cut energy use in displays. It is a niche part of decarbonization, but useful for reducing the operational emissions of smart cities and cars.
