Some years ago there was this „paperlike kindle“ that was advertised with: „you can read it in bright daylight!“ and then we never heard about this invention again.
Edit: thanks for your input. I think I understand now.

i mean, the paperwhite kindle is exactly what you’re describing, and its wonderful in sunlight, gets easier to read the more light there is.
What you’re looking for is whats called a transflective screen. Catch is, theyre relatively poor at color accuracy and brightness in dark settings.
ELI5: Normal screens are lit from behind, and when you light them from the front they wash out. Transflective screens are lit from behind, but also have a reflective layer that takes light coming in from the screen, bounces it back through the pixels, and makes them nice and bright
