Better than E-Ink: Tcl NXTPAPER – New Reflective LCD with no blue/backlight (youtube.com) 16 points by tyler109 5y ago ↗ HN
[–] shannifin 5y ago ↗ Wish they showed a bit more, I'd be interested to see how video or animations look on it.I often get headaches that make looking at digital screens painful, even when dimmed. I'd be curious to see if a display like this would help.
[–] gandalfian 5y ago ↗ Wonder what happened to Pixel Qi screens? Where they actually better? They come and they go before you get to see them for real. [–] tyler109 5y ago ↗ The RLCD technology is actually much more advanced than PixelQi tech. The first recent commercial attempt of a RLCD display was a black and white tablet from Hisense, check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8s4dJu2_ur8&t=2s and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXqCTk7FjLw

[–] phonon 5y ago ↗ How is this different from a commercial transflective display, like https://www.winstar.com.tw/products/tft-lcd/transflective-tf... or https://www.distronik.com/tft-lcd/transflective-sunlight-rea... ?
[–] gen3 5y ago ↗ This seems pretty similar to the SHARP memory LCD displays that came out a while ago. I wonder if it has the same performance. That short demo looked pretty choppy.
