Easy upgrade to this idea. Poke a hole through the IMOD element with a laser or electron beam. Slip in your backlight under that. Ta-da, instant backlight. You could also just poke a hole though the bottom layer IMOD element if the top layer element is translucent enough to allow light to shine through.
Just the video I needed to understand the technology. Thanks.

@nfwu You could have a backlight but switch it on & off as needed..which would be awesome.

@Matrix29bear Isn't the whole point of this technology is to *not* have to use backlights so that it wouldn't consume much power?

Informative. Thank you.

@DrJoshD yes but you can still change the light level of every pixel from the reflected light. But how does that work :(

@avatarelite It's a reflective technology... so that depends on the ambient light.

but how does different light levels work, i.e. different light levels on the subpixels and thus the pixels on the display.
