From the few facts I know I think its a strange crossover between eInk and lowpower LCD, while the high contrast is delivered by eInk, the colours are deliverd by the new LCD tech from Pixel Qi
"What’s different: unlike the other epaper products where one must wait a second or so to change the screen - we provide video rate refresh. Also, while we have a high resolution paper-white black and white, we also provide, in the same screen fully saturated color fidelity - the same as a standard laptop screen - same color, contrast resolution, field of view etc. Our screens consumer 25%-50% of the power of a regular notebook screen in their power savings modes and will be in available at comparable price points and volumes to standard LCD screens this summer"

Robert, what do you think? Any chance for a coop between Astak and Pixel Qi?
