This stuff can be read in sunlight, since it relies on reflection and not transmission of light through the medium like LCDs. I haven't seen anything like this in person - does anyone have a Motorola Motofone? Comments on its performance in sun would be welcome. I'd like to get a sheet of this stuff on the deck of my kayak so I can have large digital maps. If you could connect a camera to one and put the camera under the kayak, you could see "through" the kayak!
