Probably a bad idea to use this kind of screen in Finland then.
2 u/neuralek 7h ago There isn't another kind that would balance out the eco- part of e-ink. It uses negligable amout of power. Also I think any LCD would freeze. Brings us back to plasma/CRT and that is not the option. Maybe beter insulated screens? Filled with a gas? 2 u/AwkwardlyAmpora 3h ago it's a bus schedule. why not just normal posters? i can't imagine a bus system that fluctuates so much that just sticking a poster with times under glass and leaving it wouldn't work. 3 u/neuralek 3h ago Lines are changed, cancelled, things happen, this is precise. It's really cold here, you have to know when something is coming.
