Well that's before my time, so I've no idea really, but as far as
LCD's are concerned its cutting edge stuff :-)

 "7.5-inch, 1200x900-pixel, TFT screen and self-refreshing display 
  with higher resolution (200 DPI) than 95% of the laptops on the 
  market today. Two display modes are available: a transmissive, 
  full-color mode; and a reflective, high-resolution mode that is 
  sunlight readable. Both of these modes consume very little power: 
  the transmissive mode consumes one watt - about one seventh of 
  the average LCD power consumption in a laptop; and the reflective 
  mode consumes a miserly 0.2 watts.."

The inquirer tries to explain it a little better, although ignore the
bit where they say the colour pattern will make it look fuzzy at the
edges - I didn't see any colour fringing when i saw the demo units
last week displaying in color mode..
