I don't think it's physically possible to have a material switch from totally opaque to totally transparent. Remember that a hologram has to work through multiple layers to give a 3d illusion. When the first layer becomes opaque, all others are obliterated. The opaqueness of the grid that controls pixels in eink, the same one that renders our screens grayish, could also create problems.
