Not really...

You can't read on a regular LCD without backlight. This one uses a reflective monochrome display without backlight, which looks like the black-and-white display used on the older Palm PDAs, but with much higher resolution and contrast.

Technically it's still LCD, but not exactly the same thing we use on our laptop computers.
