If they can get anywhere near the readability of current transreflective devices this should make these much more usable.
Since FPD is so in to LCDs, did they have any opinions on upgrading brightness?
Do they deal with this aspect at all?
I already have plenty of photos of my current stock xenarc TS in bright daylight. Once I get it back ill take more pics of it after the upgrade, with the same lighting conditions and post them. This way, no one can say that the comparison is not equal. Ill be doing this soon, as soon as this week possibly. So hopefully within the next 3 weeks Ill have everything back and everyone can see what the results are like.
As far as the brightness is concerned, they did not mention the need to upgrade the backlighting. The transreflective upgrade actually uses the ambient light to increase the brightness of the lcd during the day. Whatever light is present passes through a polarizer and light columnizing filter, then passes through the front of the lcd, reflects off a mirror layer in the back of the lcd and thus produces a brighter picture. This is what makes these screens "Daylight Readable" Atleast thats the theory. What happens when additional components are added like a TS, who knows. But ill find out soon enough.
