I would say it's more of a low power LCD that can operate in a no backlight / monochrome mode.]]>Mar 30th 2010 2:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/
Battery life for the win, plus you don't need to melt your eyes staring at a backlight.

Actually, I really want a desktop display that uses Mirasol. I'm probably the only one, but you probably make one so thin that you could slip it in front of an LCD display and use it when you don't need color accuracy (like writing papers, lab reports, even programs).]]>Mar 30th 2010 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/You're not the only one. Mirasol is a beautiful technology and you may see it sooner than you think in a well-known tablet. Liquavista Color is also very impressive due to its low energy consumption and ability to be manufactured with current LCD factories.]]>Mar 30th 2010 2:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/
I have to admit some of my fondness for the technology probably stems from the way it works and its inspiration from nature, but seriously, my dream tablet device would have a 15" 1600x1200 Mirasol display. And if they could pop out a 1920x1200 standalone display I'm sure I'd buy several, just as soon as I'm rolling in dough (being a poor college student sucks). I hope that they determine that the market would make manufacturing those devices worthwhile....]]>Mar 30th 2010 3:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 30th 2010 4:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 30th 2010 2:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/
just because they CAN make tech with those specs at that price point, doesn't mean they will.
if the Qi screen is an added "feature", it will likely cost more to start, even if it is cheaper to produce. only if it catches on, will be competition to drive prices lower, capitalism, etc. etc. ]]>Mar 30th 2010 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 30th 2010 2:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 30th 2010 5:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 31st 2010 12:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/pixel-qi-and-olpc-to-share-all-current-and-future-screen-tech/Mar 30th 2010 7:43PM
