Daylight Computer’s first Android tablet uses a reflective LCD screen to try and make tablets less intense and alluring. The tablet isn’t great yet — but the screen might be.
There’s a big piece of paper in the San Francisco offices of Daylight Computer, with a list written in purple ink of all the kinds of devices the company hopes to one day make. The list is long: Daylight wants to make a phone, a laptop, different kinds of tablets. Basically anything you can think of with a screen, Daylight wants to make it with a better, different screen, one that doesn’t blare brightly into your eyes in a dark room but instead looks like paper and works just fine outdoors.
Katta says he’s spent the last five or so years trying to solve RLCD’s problems and improve on the whole system. He hasn’t solved all of them — the DC-1 doesn’t do color, which Katta tells me is technically possible but causes a bunch of other compromises — but the Daylight team has managed to make a 10.5-inch reflective LCD that is almost as easy on the eyes as E Ink and almost as responsive as a typical tablet screen. I say “almost” because it’s not all the way there in either case.
