But for proper reproduction backlit transparencies are necessary in order to get a better colour gamut and dynamic range. One of my hopes is that eink drives the popularity of higher-resolution computer displays rather than the current trend toward excessive dynamic range over a restricted palette. Currently high-res displays are ludicrously overpriced ($US1000 for a 1600x1200 20" display, but $US10,000 for a 3200x2500 20" display).
