e-ink displays refresh rather slowly. My Kindle is slow to page refresh when I use the built-in browser. I'm assuming that that flicker would become progressively worse as the displays become larger.

Our E Ink keyboard startup has developed timing controllers to avoid this. This is 4hz, you can get up to 20 Hz; and play videos or games on E Ink.

Would think it would depend on the controller and regions for the display... then again, it's not something you'd want for playing video.
