Abstract
A system, method, and apparatus provide brightness enhancement for digital displays. The digital display of an electronic apparatus may be augmented with an E-Ink based display module. Embodiments may replicate the content of the digital display shown on the E-Ink module display. The content is shown in a high contrast output that is readable even though the ambient light intensity may overwhelm the readability of the original digital display. Some embodiments include a clock which may trigger automatic operation of the E-Ink module. Some embodiments may include a transparent E-Ink module which may show replicated content obscuring the view an underlying digital display or which may remain transparent when the digital display is readable under the current light.
