Reflective Displays
A reflective display is a type of display technology that uses ambient light to create an image, rather than using a backlight or a front light like traditional transmissive displays. This technology is based on the principle of reflection, where light is bounced off the display's surface rather than transmitted through it. As a result, reflective displays can create an image using only the light available in their environment rather than requiring an external light source, which makes them highly energy-efficient and well-suited for use in portable devices such as smartwatches and e-readers. The obvious downside is that reflective displays are not readable in low-light conditions. This can be solved using a so-called transflective display technology, which includes an active light source only when needed.
