They are used in book readers. Amazon Kindle Colorsoft, for example. Or I have android phone with such screen (though, not latest generation).

Rather opposite: I never seen consumer products with two-layer displays.

Nope, that's my point, on your kindle, the screen is a Kaleido 3, which is a black&white+lcd layer: https://www.reddit.com/r/eink/comments/1i8e26x/seriously_how...

Vs Spectra (the expensive screen): https://www.eink.com/upload/2023_11_14/3_20231114082849vy2as...


I don't see LCD layer here. Passive color filters, B/W capsules (which reflects or doesn't reflect incoming light, depends on orientation), TFT (thin layer transistors, not LCD — liquid crystal display!) as control to orient capsules.

Yes, it is not 4 color capsules as in Spectra, but where is LCD?

LCD what is caught my attention (and surprise) in your commentary.

But now I see difference, thank you.
