No, there is colour filter on top of the 2480 x 1860. It physically can't look like a Scribe.
It might appear better than 223 approx to some people, but it's by using coloured edges to enhance sharpness.
Unless you take it apart and scrape the coloured filter off it can never do 2480 x 1860 black and white / 300 dpi mono. That's the underlying panel resolution.
You can't call a 1920 x 1080 Colour LCD panel a 5760 x 1080 black and white (stripe filter) or a 3840 x 2160 (4k) black and white (Bayer filter), though that's the resolutions of the mono LCDs used to make them. Cleartype or similar is used to make high contrast text seem sharper by using coloured edges (sub pixel addressing).
That's what the colour eink is doing to get better than 150 dpi (Bayer pattern) or on older striped panels, better than 100 x 300 dpi.
