Lubix's UBHS-PH2 sports world's first MEMS display

Oh goodie, a world's first. This time it's courtesy of Lubix's UBHS-PH2 Bluetooth headset sporting Qualcomm's Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) display. The reflective display sports Interferometric Modulation (IMOD) technology to avoid battery-draining backlighting. Otherwise, we're just looking at the nub end of a stereo Bluetooth 2.0+EDR headset presumably offering the same A2DP, AVRCP, HSP, and HFP profiles available in their rest of their lineup -- which isn't a bad thing.

Isn't this just another Qualcomm patent to ban the import of?

really interested in some reviews of this MEMS display technology and how it compares to a traditional LCD display with backlight as well as an OLED display.

This is supposed to be a reflective display that doesn't need a backlight. eInk and a few other are doing something similar but they don't used MEMS. I think it works by applying some voltage and causes these tiny mirrors on the size of pixel to deflect or modulate light. When I googled MEMS mirror displays I came across this: http://www.terahz.org/_html/18SampledStudies.html
which is an analysis of the TI MEMS mirror. Those mirrors are used in DLP projectors.

this is why it's hot: it's hot 'cause you not.
