Two major modifications were made to display images on both sides. First, a new reflective layer is arranged in the color filter substrate. When the images are viewed from the TFT array substrate side, the layer reflects incoming light. On the other hand, when viewed from the side of the color filter as in the case of the existing LCD panels, the light is reflected by the reflection electrode formed on the TFT array.

The 15-inch prototype reportedly has a resolution of 2048 x 1536 and an aperture ratio of 46%. It employs a sub-pixel arrangement with four colors, consisting of R, G and B and the additional white

Good for head to head gaming and information kiosks.

The white sub pixel is used to brighten up the screen selectively thereby reducing the energy requirement of backlighting by only putting it where needed not everywhere.

Topside
Bottom side
Left side
Right side
Inside
Outside

Seriously, that is pretty cool. Esp using a white pixel for brightness running behind the RGB stuff

no not fakes, pre-prototypes
