Hybrid emissive/transmissive displays and combination displays including e paper and hybrid emissive/transmissive displays

A hybrid display device comprising:

• an emissive display having at least one emission surface from which an image is displayed to be viewable from a viewing location;
• a variable transmission electrophoretic display positioned between the emissive display and the viewing location to at least partially alter the image at the viewing location, the variable transmission electrophoretic display comprising an internal phase comprising a plurality of charged white particles disposed in a fluid;
• and
• a controller operably coupled to the variable transmission electrophoretic display, the controller configured to adjust a state of the variable transmission electrophoretic display to generate a desired altered image to be viewable from the viewing location,
• wherein the variable transmission electrophoretic display is configured to operate in a shutter mode that includes a closed state and an open state, wherein the closed state provides at least 40% transmission and at most 40% visual light reflection and/or visual light scatter, wherein the open state provides at least 60% visual light transmission and at most 30% visual light reflection and/or visual light scatter.
