Its screen was micro-etched or something. I no longer remember the details.
And it's not merely a claim, but as good as a fact that the Voyage had a very sharp and contrasty screen. Multiple Voyage owners have said so here and elsewhere. I have compared my Voyage to various other ereaders, including the latest Oasis, and the text on it was always sharper and darker (the frontlight of the Voyage was uneven, though). The Libra actually has average contrast, worse than the Oasis 3, but I can well believe it's better than the PW4, which is notorious for its poor contrast.
It remains to be seen how the new Kobos compare to the older ones.
Myself, I'm not terribly fussy about contrast, unless it's really poor. The Libra screen is good enough for me. Of course it's always nice to have good contrast, but it's not the most important aspect of an ereader for me. After all, I sold my Voyage.
