So yes, having the clock and notifications etc. always on is possible on LCD screen, but battery drain will be nowhere near the LPM on AMOLEDs. It just do not make sense on LCDs.
But something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hu746hqoP4E could still be implemented? Don't know how much it would drain the battery if you'd chose the "always on" mode with this kind of screen, but with proximity sensor, it would at least shut it self down when in your pocket, as in N9.
