Maybe some kind of pigment that flouresces (converts other wavelengths, e.g. UV, to visible light) could help, but then again, I don't know how much UV might get through the screen.
In checking the E Ink page for info about where their electrodes are located, I noticed again that E Ink really seems to emphasize the flexibility of their displays. I wonder why all the applications we're seeing in eBook readers seem to be rigid?

The other night while turning all lights out, I noticed all the remotes were lit. It gave me thoughts about phosphorescence. If the white compound in eink was exitable by the grids at each page turn it could temporarily give off a little bit of light, aiding the display. Could also be bio luminescence?
