The way it works, though, is that it's still a normal black-and-white eInk display, with a colour filter array (CFA) placed on top of it. The CFA divides each pixel into four coloured sub pixels (red, green, blue and white), resulting in a halving of the linear resolution of the display.
Feedback on the Triton display has been poor. Probably best to wait for "proper" colour eInk, rather than the CFA approach.
