What I meant to say by comparing it to Pixel Qi is that it's B&W and it's not backlit.
I thought jetBook was just a plain ol' LCD? So much to learn, so little time ...  |
Yes, the jetBook is LCD. It's not backlit and it's grayscale. The IPS panel in the iPad is also LCD, as is Pixel Qi. The original Nintendo GameBoy had an LCD too, and so do nearly all digital watches and calculators.
LCD is a fundamental display technology that allows both transmissive and reflective designs. It is the turkey in the turkey sandwich, rather than the whole sandwich.
