Liquavista sunlight readable color e-reader displays

Posted by Charbax – March 5, 2010

Liquavista is demonstrating a new type of screen technology which could provide very low power black and white and color screens based on the LCD manufacturing process, though where the screen refresh rates can be automatically turned down below 1hz. Together with Pixel Qi http://armdevices.net/2010/01/08/charbax-tests-pixel-qi-at-ces-2010/ or as an alternative, this type of LCD screen technology will enable all Tablets and Laptops to also become full e-readers and could in theory have 50-100 hours battery runtime or longer.

    Sweet…. Who are they, really TI? Very nice turn of the events for Tegra2-Android tablet when Pixel Qi doesn't show signs of life for more than a month

    Pixel Qi is coming. Liquavista may just be a complementary technology with the Pixel Qi technology to reach best sunlight readable colors and lowest possible power usage.

    Sure I would love to see Pixel Qi coming. So far it's nly the promise of of DIY kits has popped up. You can call it coming, you might know much more tablet/netbooks manufacturers that are this close to embracing the technology. However, I'm sure lots of these watch Liquavista very close.

    And I somehow failed to see _any_ colours visible on Pixel Qi displays in strong sunlight/without backlight. If the costs could be in the same reasonable range, Liquavista doesn't complement Pixel Qi, it outright kills it. In fact, all the LCD industry need to start trembling.
