The OLPC had a LCD that could either work as a backlit color display or as a reflective b/w screen. That always seemed like a clever feature to me (with clever design it might even be possible to have a higher resolution in this mode, using the sub-pixels for color mode as pixels)

Pixel Qi (discussed in another reply) was funded by Mary Lou Jepsen, a former CTO of OLPC.

The screen you are referring to probably uses the exact same technology (designed while she was CTO?). It's not e-ink but indeed amazing. Too bad we don't yet put a lot of resources into this kind of projects.
