It had a backlight, but it could be turned off, so there's no reason to think this one won't also be able to be deactivated. The screen had e-paper-like reading in sunlight. And it's a video display that can handle full motion. This version is also a touchscreen. Basically, you get the reading experience of e-ink, plus the options of color and backlight, with good but not super-long-eink battery life.
But in e-paper mode, the refresh rate is very low, right? So for example, I cannot surf on the internet in e-paper mode, only in video mode with backlight?

When will someone create a display, which can display color and video, but without backlight, so that it does not hurt the eyes?
