The original colour eInk displays used filters, which did drop the resolution to half of that of the underlying monochrome display. This new technology doesn't use filters, but rather has multiple colours inside each pixel, so it likely has better resolution and colour saturation over the old. It does appear to be very much slower though, with lots of flashing when it's changing, so I doubt it would be used in an ereader in its current state.
