@landley Right now I'm glad @krutonium made sufficient efforts to enable said #eBookReader to be feasibly target-able for @OS1337.

Yes, I'm still mad about #PixelQi getting acquired.by #3M and ceasing to offer their cool screens and yes I still want that PixelQi-swapped #IdeaPad-#Netbook

  • Why can't we have nice things?

@nomeata I miss #PixelQi and their #Transflective screens.

I've already seen #eInk monitors, but they are exensive af (espechally given their specs!)...

  • That being said, eInk is still an awesome tech and I really want to see it become more mainstream besides #eReader|s!

Most of the LCD displays you see on laptops, tablets, phones, TVs, and monitors are transmissive displays that require a backlight for operation. But there are also other types of LCD displays including reflective displays which are designed for visibility using only ambient light and transflective displays that split the difference: you don’t need a backlight in brightly lit environments, […]

@alexadeswift @georgetakei there's are reasons #screens started getting used in "#DarkMode" and why only on #paper and #transflective settings "#BrightMode" makes sense.

IOW there are reasons we illuminate letters and not the entire house wall at night...

@jwildeboer Thank you very much for the information.
I really like the #transflexive display.
Unfortunately, the manufacturer Pixel Qi no longer seems to be available.
I found Mary Lou Jepsen's website and she seems to be taking on new challenges.

Do you know if there are any other manufacturers of #transflective displays?

I think it would be a perfect fit for a kind of cyberdeck like the #uConsole.

@LunaDragofelis @Larhanya maybe an #eInk / #Mirasol or #PixelQi (#transflective) screen works best for you?
@yakkoj Any "bright theme" is eye-straining, unless it's an #eInk or #transflective screen read in sunlight...

@theresnotime @TechConnectify Remember #PixelQi?

They made some #transflective screens but sadly #3M bought up the entire company and now hoards the tech and won't even sell people screens...

#transflective screens are (were) great!

I still have my XO-1 from the #OLPC program (give one, get one) and for a few years - not recently - it was my preferred laptop for the garden.

But I see #pixelQI didn't make it...
