Completely Agree. Affordable E-Ink large external displays[1] have become like fusion energy.

That said, I wonder why there hasn't been a competing tech e.g. like LED vs LCD; Are the fundamental physics behind E-Ink so perfect for the low-power display that no other alternative is possible (or) is it just the absurd patent which stifles even exploring this direction.

> become like fusion energy

This fusion reactor could be affordable. It just needs to be invented first:

I didn't question it's affordability, just that it's always 30 years away!

30 years away if properly funded.

It has never been properly funded.
