If you believe what Good e-Reader is saying (and I realize that some opinions on that source are negative), this wouldn't be a color version of electronic paper, such as used in products like Kindle and Kobo eReaders. It would instead be yet another backlit screen product.
Or, as does sometimes happen, am I totally missing it? |
TFT only means "thin film transistor." The technology can be applied to things beyond liquid crystal,
like E-Ink does. See
Wikipedia's explanation.
TFT LCDs are being replaced by IPS (In-Plane Switching) tech. IPS LCDs are significantly better, with improved color, contrast, viewing angles, and lower energy consumption.
