@jwildeboer The OLPC is a fascinating piece of engineering history.
I heard about a reflective technology you used to make the screen readable outdoors even without a backlight.
Do you have more inside information on the screen technology?
Did the screen work as expected?
@Debby Itβs the Pixel Qi screen, invented by Mary Lou Jepsen and her team. And yes, it works as described. At the time we called it the transflexive display. You could (and can :) use it in bright sunlight, without backlight, as a rather high contrast greyscale display. You can also switch on the backlight to get better colours.
