I still wonder what's the real difference between the PixelQi screens and transflective screens that already have existed several years.

That’s because in Jepsen’s screen, ambient light can substitute for backlight, bouncing off the mirror-like material that Jepsen has added to each pixel to reflect shades of black and white.

If I turn off the backlight of my PDA completely, the light (indirect light that is) bounces off a mirror-like material that is behind the screen. And when I turn on the light, it goes through this layer as it is semi-transparent. Both times I have a perfect reading surface, with full colour.
