Clothes and textiles are going to be the major use case. I’m already seeing a huge amount of backpacks and hard cloth patches with screens in it. This will make it the cloth doesn’t have to be hard and flow easily. This is very cool.

Hacked to display a sudden burst of a shit stain whenever you take your pants off... But you would never notice unless someone tells you.

Because it’s cool and will change fashion which has stagnated for the last decade(s)? I dunno man, why do people like dyeing their hair? Why do people paint their fingernails or put rings through skin?

I could see multi purpose uniforms that can change the display depending on the users role in whatever they are a part of.

No but having a screen on your curtains that tell you what time of day it is, what the weather is going to be, and what the traffic is like would be quite helpful.
