Wait till electrowetting-displays comes to market. Full color 300 fps displays. No backlight. Perfect viewable in direct sunlight. Also a development from Holland. (Google Liquavista)

eInk cannot be backlit, since it's opaque. They are working on a frontlit solution using another layer on top. I have to wonder if the added thickness would conflict with the flexibility though. The major limitation with OLED is that it has terrible contrast in daylight. The technology is "emissive" (pixels produce light directly, rather than reflecting like eInk or modulating like LCD), and generally doesn't have the "power" to compete with the sun's sheer ambiance.

Very nice, and especially good since it uses power only to change the image, not to maintain it. Like a normal page, not backlit. There should be a back light but there should bee the option to turn it off. Of course the main problem with these displays is that they are very slow to refresh so you can forget watching a 30 frames per second video on it as this can do about 1 frame per second. Give it a few years, or wait for organic led technology.
