I do not believe that is what she said or will be the case.
This was from the last video in her lab (and was referring to the electronics on the screen itself).

What jkkmoblie says on this is:
Quote:
- When backlight is turned of,Pixel Qi screen uses only 0.8 watts compared to typical 2.5 watts

- Their aim is to bring the drain down to 0.2 watts in next 6 months

- When backlight is on, it is uses same amount of power as a normal screen but is much brighter.

- When backlight is turned of,Pixel Qi screen is black and white.
The "next 6 months" is consistent with the lab video, i.e. not this fall in the initial production runs.
