Yes sure is completely different technology. The only similar thing is that both have a RGB color filter on top.
DES uses a mosaic RGB pattern. And that is a bit more efficient in terms of equivalent resolution. Here are more information: wiki.laptop.org/go/Display . OLPC happens to use a screen with same arrangement so the info there applies.
I've one of this DES displays lying around since last September or so and I was waiting that someone releases a controller when I spotted Pine64.
This is how the RGB matrix looks like in the Microscope:

But I guess first will get the PineNote and experiment with existing epaper and then at some point try to see if I can modify the driver to drive the color one.
If the resolution is like they claim with the formula of the laptop that uses the same pixel arrangement, it would be:
1680/ sqrt(3) = 969
2232/ sqrt(3) = 1288 but I will confirm this once I get it to refresh
