E-ink works fine in sunlight and are fast enough for my needs but yes, RLCDs seem nice but they seem to have never caught on. I even wanted to get that pixel qi tablet back in the day but nothing ever went anywhere.
This [0] one looks far more reflexive than my Boox tablet; in some parts of the video it's definitely not practically viewable when the light source is on this thing.

- throwaway81523 5y agoReflective LCD's were used in quite a few early laptops. I used one for a long time. The issue was they were monochrome. It's color ones that didn't get traction, and everyone started wanting color screens. I've never used a Pixel Qi but I saw one briefly once. It was ok, I'd be interested in something that used it for power consumption and outdoor reasons, but iirc its colors were washed out compared with conventional TFT screens. That might be why they didn't catch on. Refresh might have also been too slow for video, dunno.
