See eInk and ghosting. The Aura uses a eInk Pearl screen with the addition of what eInk calls Regal waveform technology or low-flash waveform which plays waveshaping games with the driver voltages to reduce ghosting. While the Aura HD has the same generation Pearl technology screen, it predates the Regal technology. The Aura H2O's Carta screen will also use Regal to avoid the need for frequent full screen refresh cycles.
Though I sometimes wonder about the claims made. For instance, eInk's site claims a Pearl screen has 70%/24% (reflectance min/white max/black), the Carta data sheet says 74%/19% which doesn't really add up the their claimed 50% contrast ratio (10 for Pearl, 15 for Carta) improvement over the previous generation Pearl screen.
