Electronic – Suitable low-power ~10″ graphical display options

display

I am looking for suitable display options for a battery-powered device, kind of like an e-book reader/tablet/mid device.

  • size – 10" or so.

  • resolution – preferably a high DPI

  • colour – mono/gray

  • static – low refresh rate/static is
    fine

  • power – low enough to last 12 hours
    on a ~1000 mAH battery assuming 80%
    static usage.

  • Brightness – readable in-doors, mainly.

I know of the existence of E-ink, Pixel-Qi and even ChLCD displays. I am wondering if there are any other display options available?

1000 mAh / 0.8 / 12 hours = about 100 mA, which is plenty. A parametric search on DigiKey landed half a dozen monochrome LCDs (Display Modules - LCD, OLED, Graphic), and they're all expensive ($200). First on the list is DMF-50036ZNBU-FW-BAN, which draws 30-40mA. I wouldn't recommend getting any of these as they are expensive, but you may be able to source similar ones from China. I meant to put this as a comment to the OP, but I don't have the points yet.
