The Daylight tablet is the closest to Playdate display among the tablets listed in the article.

Some people on Reddit speculate the Daylight Computer is also a Sharp screen. Unsure whether memory LCD and IGZO are related as I'm very new to this space (and trying not to fall too deep into the rabbit hole)

The play date screen is beautiful. So is the daylight computer but no colour is just a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Some charts/diagrams use colours and being unable to understand how the colour is being used is probably going to end up being too annoying in the end for my intended usage even tho I am predominantly looking to read (pdfs and blogs)

For books I still prefer the real thing whenever possible

I ran some Daylight Computer photos from a trip to their factory through Google Lens and it was the Sharp factory in Japan. No doubt.

It seems that they took a certain Sharp screen and simply took off the colour layer. Citation needed.
