Please, not E-ink. It needs ambient light so if you are mobiling at night with the lights out in your mobile vehicle then you will not see the e-ink display. Also, e-ink is slow and in general, I think, the entire display must be updated to change anything which makes it a hassle for display of real-time events such as s-meter, SWR, power out, or even spectrum display.
