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.

DISCLAIMER:

We have seen several instances in which the press (and, more often, bloggers) imagine some connection between what we’re doing and E Ink Corporation. We repeat  that our products don’t use electrophoretic technology and that we have no corporate relationship to the company known as E Ink Corporation.

UPDATE 

Our first screens have come out of the fab (see  www.pixelqi.com/blog1) and look great.  We will be showing them off privately at Computex in Taipei Taiwan (June 2-6) and at SID Display Week in San Antonio Texas (May 31- June 5) by appointment only.  Contact vivek@pixelqi.com for more info. 

We have offices now in San Francisco and in Taipei with full teams running fast.  

We have partnership agreements with some of the world's largest manufacturers to create our screens.  Additionally, we have some even larger customers lining up to use our innovative new screens. These will be sampling in mid- 2009 and mass-production-ready in late-2009

We are not announcing our customers and manufacturing partners  at this time.
