E-ink displays for chartplotter

[mgrouch]

Anyone used some marine e-ink displays?

This one looks interesting. But I’ve never seen it personally

For $799 ($699 after discount) you can buy a pretty decent waterproof 1000 NIT color touch screen. *Andy Barrow*

I’m more interested from technology point of view. It seems feasible to make a chartplotter with modern e-ink. They come with support of 7 colors already (enough for a chart) and refresh rate is getting into range suitable for a chartplotter. Benefits are better sunlight readability and much lower power consumption.
