Finding a Display You Can Read in the Sun? 63

max3000 asks: "I'm currently building an embedded device that will be used outdoors, and the technology is pretty much nailed down at this point, except the display. Quite honestly, I'm confused and lost in all the display technologies out there: LCD (TFT, passive/active, and so forth), ChLCD, OLED, FED, AMLCD, EL, electrophoretic, ePaper like eInk, and more (some of which may overlap). Can you help a confused, fellow reader? What I need is (apparently) fairly complicated: an outdoor, sunlight-readable (at-a-glance readable, not squint-your-eyes readable), VGA/SVGA display. The display should have a 4-6 inch diagonal, capable of displaying at least 16 color grayscale, and it should be based on a technology with a roadmap to color in 2-3 years time. If not driveable directly from a PC, the display should come with a development kit that is." What small displays are out there that can meet these specifications?

    Who the fuck modded this as "informative?" This is typical /. assholery. Hey fucknuts, the guy asked the question because he needed some help because he had was confused about the plethora of options. It is called "ask slashdot" after all.

    I hope the next time you ask for help with something someone gives you an equally useless and glib reply. Now, unless you have something constructive to contribute, why don't you go back to jerking off to pictures of your sister?
