I don't see how turning the backlight off would make a screen anymore daylight readable. It just gets overpowered in the sunlight anyways.
The critical difference between a reflective LCD and transmissive LCD is that the former has a reflector behind it, while the latter has a light source in its place. Now
transflective LCDs have a special semi-reflective/transmissive polymer (appropriately called a "transflector") in between the LCD and backlight, though the contrast is still not as good as a true reflective LCD.
