Fujitsu's color e-book display uses bi-stable cholesteric LCD technology licensed from Kent Displays, Inc. Three layers of LC material are stacked (RGB), to achieve the brightest full-color reflective display possible today. Electrophoretic technology cannot do this. The only way to achieve color displays with e-ink is to use color filters which results in a display thats 1/3 the brightness of a monochrome display.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
