While it can be constructed to work as a transmissive display (like LCD), the main focus is on using it as a reflective display (like eInk). The basic technology involves small pixels in which the area of the pixel is covered or not by a coloured water droplet. For a reflective display, the back of the pixel is made a reflective white. For a transmissive display, it is made transparent.
