Morpheus, YW . The SigmaBook uses more conventional LCD technology and apparently has readability issues, according to the article:

"Panasonic opted for an LCD technology that doesn't require a back light or power to maintain a picture. But the blue-on-gray screens offer very poor contrast and are hard to see from an angle."

I find the fact that the WSJ article is reviewing these two Japanese market products a bit curious .
