	Nonmultiplexed LCD displays do have this kind of contrast.
To get a LARGE number of pixels, most LCD displays have to be 
multiplexed, though.  The only large-panel systems which are not
multiplexed are so-called 'active matrix' systems.  
	Check out the Macintosh Portable if you want to see
a good active matrix display.  Pricey, but top-notch visual
quality.
