I just looked it up and I'm fairly certain it wouldn't work. Every time the output waveform gets too low then the led would turn off, which is what creates the flicker. An led needs a constant current to stay on constantly.

That name is awful and will reduce how many users it will get

This makes no sense to me. If you don't like glare on your phone then just get a matte screen protector. If you specifically want e-ink then just get a small ebook device that's a similar size to this case.

I just don't see a use case

That's what's so stupid about the whole problem - the solution is known and easy but it costs a tiny bit more to make so lots of manufacturers don't do it. It just needs to run off DC instead of AC. Simple.

Did he ignore flicker problems again like last year? Because flicker ruins lights for a lot of us

This planet isn't in our solar system. We've found 6,053 exoplanets already, so it's a safe bet that there's lots more of them than you're aware of

Almost no one buys a super expensive phone that has a totally new form factor without trying it out in real life before buying it
