    LCDs can address that problem, but I’m not sure these do.

    Memory LCDs, for example, do not refresh. Each subpixel stays constantly high or low until updated. Hence the name. That tech is fine for both static displays and video (connection speed allowing) but only tends to support 2-8 colors, since each pixel or subpixel is binary.

    Traditionally-refreshed LCDs could simply ghost like hell. That’d obviously hinder their utility for video (and even just scrolling) but should almost totally eliminate visible change on static images. If that persistence is software-adjustable then it could be cranked up whenever things stop moving.

      Isn’t it just easier to use E-Ink, since it already exists in product form for the function?
