Or there's the reflective LCD from Japan Dissplay that uses static RAM cells at each pixel to reduce power on static displays, currently available for watches.
BTW, this is what I don't understand: the very first LCD screens were readable under the sun! those monochrome LCDs were even used in some of the early ereaders.

what happened to that feature? Even Nintendo's Gameboy Advance used a full color LCD that needed external light to be readble
