I've recently been looking at RLCD and I'm curious about something.

RLCD still seems to be backlit. It just has a reflective panel behind it instead of a light panel. So, it's just backlit with an ambient light source. Wouldn't that cause the same type of eye strain and regular LCD would?

My understanding is that eInk is front lit. So, the light is illuminating the surface of the display, like a lamp does on a piece of paper. And that's why eInk causes less eye strain.

Am I correct here? Please correct me, if I am mistaken.
