So, I feel like using an RLCD will not eliminate the harshness of using an LCD panel.

Does that make sense?
To me that does not really make sense. In the case of both the eInk and RLCD panels, the light comes from the front and reflects off the display to your eye. The reflective layer simply increases the amount of usable light much like the tapetum lucidum layer in a cat's eye.
