Sony released the PCG-C2GPS laptop in Nov 1999 which had a reflective LCD almost exactly like this. The use-case was that you’d primarily use it in your car (during the day) for navigation and want the better battery life by not having a backlight. The back of the LCD hinges off like this but also stores a front light you can attach for low-light situations. https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/article/991104/sony.htm https://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/article/991104/sony.htm The photos of the screen in use look bad! B/W only for reflective in my experience (i.e. Pebble watch.)
