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.

I know Pixel Qi uses LCD. My point was that one of the ways they improved brightness was by
not trying to give the reflective mode color. Color filters and reflective screens have never been great bedfellows.
