Layers 1 and 2 are part of a Mobius display - not just layer 8.
And the Mobius layers 1 and 2 are not as clear and transparent as the layers 1 and 2 of the Boox Note Air display - simply because the Boox Note Air display (glass) is brighter and more contrasty than all Mobius displays

The purpose of the mobius screen on the Forma is to make it lighter and more durable, not to make it actually able to bend.

What material the layer 8 is made of is completely uninteresting for those looking at the display - layers 1 and 2 are important for them, because only through these does the light pass.
And it's not about bending or anything - a flexible EInk module cannot break as easily as one made of glass.
And above the EInk module there are other layers that are not flexible either (light guide aso)
