About a decade ago I was at a trade show where they were showing tiny little lcd screens for push buttons. They were lime 1cmx1cm and I think 64 pixels across. Just enough to put a little icon on the button. Seemed silly not to use a touch screen, but the sales rep said there were situations that required physical buttons for safety, but if the computer control of the button screens goes wonky you would have not idea what buttons you were pushing…

 

Kind of OT, but these little displays made it in the end into what was called the "Optimus Maximus Keyboard"

Wow that’s like a 60” tv scale! But at $72 each I don’t think I’ll be outfitting an apartment complex on the layout with flat screen TVs. 
 

I did play with the little like 1” digital photo keychains that let you do a slide show. Issue was when you powered it up you had to hit two buttons to put it in slide show mode and one of them shut down after 5 minutes, figured they could be interesting static digital ads on buildings.
