Just to be clear, the daylight computer does not use e-ink. They call it an e-paper display, and it's basically a reflective LCD.


If I understand some of the videos correctly, their innovation seems to be in the diffusion layer, which makes the LCD appear paper-like. One video mentions quite a few technical details in this area (sub-wavelength nanoparticles, dichroic dyes, etc), so much so that I can't decide if I'm impressed, or that it's just moat-signaling technobabble. But the devices look great in either case.
