I will be more clear: the idea seems to be that the PixelQi displays on sale are remainders. So it is not that they «are now made» but that they
could be made by the firm that now owns the rights.
I do not recall any information about PixelQi technology being actively developed (nor of the production being still ongoing - which would not be sensible without R&D, at least since the only current format available is the one which fit the One Laptop per Child initiative), and I have been actively searching for news, like many here, many times, periodically, reading Mary Lou Jepsen's biographies, agiographies etc.

Have not you written «seems». The PixelQi, while many of us would have bought it, remains a compromise - just like all other technologies, but with degrees. Its final quality has not surpassed the threshold to get the interest from current players.
You «end up» with the sibling (from MIT like Jepsen) E-Ink on your own free initiative, not as a "certified solution" but as a patch to the limited market interest on natural-light friendly technologies: we have been reasonably and rightfully bending the comfort zone of E-Ink ("contemplation") to a dynamic usage which was beyond the direct focus of the engineers.
