Daylight is a reflective LCD, like what you’d find on the classic Game Boy. I find their marketing of it as “e-paper” to be highly misleading.

It's RLCD but with a twist. It has microperforations, so they can put the backlight behind the screen without making it transreflective. I agree the terminology is misleading though.
