E-paper with Color and Video
We are a fabless developer of a new class of screens that use standard LCD manufacturing materials and processes.
The screens will be available for mini-laptops and ebook readers in high volume mass production in late-2009. Our mainstream laptop screens will be available thereafter based on demand.
The readability and legibility of our new screens rival the best epaper available today. What's new about our screens: fast video rate update (refresh), and fully saturated color at low pricing because we use standard manufacturing materials, processes and factories. Our screens use 1/2 to 1/4 the power of a regular LCD screen, and when integrated carefully with the device can increase battery life between charges by 5-fold. You can use our screens in laptops outside in bright sunlight. Look for this dramatic power savings in 2010, in 2009 we are focused on being a run-in change into the existing electronics in netbooks and ebook readers.
The choice of the screens used in a computer, or any portable, can have a huge environmental impact. Pixel Qi screens meet the highest environmental standards and will be critical to new generations of green electronics.
We have passed early reliability testing with flying colors and are still on track to start mass production of our screens in late Q4 2009.
