The OLPC project had something special for its display; not sure it lines up exactly with what you're proposing (especially the size!) but perhaps in the same ballpark ("two screens sharing an LCD"). Looks like around $80 shipped on eBay.

- duskwuff 10y agoThe display used on the OLPC was a bit different -- RGBG matrix when backlit, 2x resolution black-and-white when unlit. You used to be able to buy the displays standalone from Pixel Qi, but the company folded in 2015. There is a successor company, but it's not clear whether they're actually producing the displays anymore, or if they're just selling off existing stock.
- jimmies 10y agoIt's the PixelQi display. I was impressed with the OLPC screen when I first saw it in person in 2009 or so. Just a year or two ago I decided to get a netbook and install one of them. It turned out to be not impressive at all, the screen looks muted and it is like the backlight is not working rather than being great like e-ink.
