PixelQi uses the same basics as an LCD. They have a layer of reflective white plastic, pol.filter, color layers, and the other pol filter.

They do use a very transparent type of polarization filter; or exactly how they get their screens so light I don't know.

The saturation effects of the colors follows the same pattern as a laptop with glossy screen, set to low backlight, in an outside environment (under sunlight); but minus the green-greyish color LCD's have.
