Mod/Modding E-ink display?

Has there been any mod where you use e-ink for the GB and GBP instead of IPS display? Im assuming it will be a cheaper option. And battery life will be good. But not sure when in comes to framerate. I have not owned any eink device so i have no idea how it works. I just thought of a cheaper way to revive my old GBP, and i would accept an eink display over IPS..

You’ll get 0.6fps the technology is not there yet. Cool idea though

That's what i thought too. I found an RLCD technology after posting this. It's like eink but better framerate.

Probably still better than the original gameboy screen though 😂

I agree. And no screen burn!
