Reflective and transmissive is important when combining colors (one is additive, the
other subtractive). But in both cases, the light must pass through a medium on the
way back to the eye.
In a transmissive display, the light must also pass through the "ink" (the LCD cells) on
the way to the eye, so the argument still holds. Non-glare screens achieve their result
by scattering the light, reducing richness and intensity.
