tl;dr: Modos is crowdfunding the Flow, a 13.3-inch color e-paper monitor with 3200×2400 resolution, touch input, and 60Hz refresh, powered by their new open-source Enchanter display controller (which uses a Chrontel CH7516 chip to enable DisplayPort 1.1). Co-founders Wenting Zhang and Alexander Soto note pixel response is ~50ms (comparable to the first iPad's IPS panel), and emphasize minimizing input-to-display latency over raw refresh rates. They've stuck with crowdfunding over VC because the e-paper monitor market is too niche for investors but supports a hackable, open-source community. | |
