The Daylight DC-1 is an exciting cross between a Kindle and an iPad – with an LCD screen that looks like E ink

The new iPad Pro (2024) may be the thinnest device Apple has ever made, but a new tablet from startup Daylight has an arguably more exciting claim. It's apparently "the world's first 60fps paper-like computer", making it an intriguing cross between an Amazon Kindle and an iPad.

The Daylight DC-1's unique feature is its 10.5-inch display, which the company calls 'LivePaper'. While the tablet's official site isn't explicit about the tech behind this screen, it appears to use a transflective LCD, which is visible both with and without a backlight. The result is something that looks something like E Ink but has an LCD's responsiveness and refresh rate.
