Why do we still have no (phone) screens that are still readable in sunlight?

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.

Phone screens are a compromise of many things.
You want touch technology, good colour and quality. Wear resistant and somewhat safe to drop. And apparently no problems with sunlight.

On top of that you want it cheap.

So you design something that’s a compromise of many things and, if I were a phone (screen) developer, I’d rate “readable in sunlight” pretty low on that list.
