Do you realize there are reflective LCD such as in most of multimeters?

Nusa:
The question was "favorite" display technology. If you're looking for "winners", that's an entirely different question.

Dried blood on cave walls was a winner at one time. Some of those displays have lasted for thousands of years!

That's a pretty high standard! 

The displays in a car would seem to be one of the most difficult, except of course power doesn't matter much.  I can see the LCD displays in my car right up to the point that I can't see anything at all due to sun glare or whatever.  I don't think any technology could be any better.

Have you parked in in the blazing desert sun for hours on end repeatedly? Granted, that was old tech LCD, but I doubt modern ones would survive harsh environments much better unless they are ruggedized (aka mil/space spec).

Well, actually, yes I have.  The car has been parked mostly outside in SoCal for going on 7 years now.  It's not a Tesla, so the screen is 'automotive grade'.  I don't know how that compares to mil-spec.
