It may have to do with the Display Technology Cartels, bad marketing, or no funding. I just wish to know why Electrowetting isn't mainstream yet. See here: link to this video The MirasolHD 5,1" display prototype with 2.560 x 1.440 Pixel had a pixel depth of incredible 577 ppi and you could use clearly see everything at direct sunlight.

On “A camera that snaps a GIF and ejects a cartridge that displays it”

Does anyone know if there any other initiatives beside PixelQi and e-ink displays for producing (modern) displays that can be used with passive light? It would be fantastic to be able to bring my laptop into the sunlight for work. And with the expectation of greatly improved battery life. Edit: Ooh, I found Liquavista: link Edit2: And Electrowetting as well: link to this video Hmm, why isn't this in use.
