Physics prohibits the existence of one-way mirrors. If you make a transflective screen, it will also reflect less light than a purely reflective screen.
So it is better to make either a purely emissive (OLED) / transmissive (LCD) screen, or a purely reflective screen with an added front light.
And why are there so few devices with reflective LCD screens? They are quicker, but they reflect less light than the electrophoretic screens from E Ink.
- jessriedel 2y agoThat there is fundamental trade-off between two features does not mean the only viable choices are to maximize one feature. In fact, it is usually the opposite.
- cubefox 2y agoI think the issue with transflective LCDs is that even purely reflective LCDs are not very reflective.
