I wish Qualcomm's Mirasol display had seen light - you could even watch videos on them comfortably (as per the demo). They were building a huge plant to manufacture those displays commercially and suddenly the whole thing tanked. I think Apple bought parts of it.
- cubefox 4y agoTheir last innovation was called Mirasol SMI, which let them change color within one MEMS block (instead of just switching it between color/black), so that they wouldn't need subpixels to create color. They were way ahead of E Ink in these respects. Unfortunately Qualcomm pulled the plug shortly after the SMI announcement. I'm not sure which part Apple actually bought, whether it was just labs or actual IP as well.
- orril 4y agoapple device with back light toggle would be fantastic. the pulse width modulation used on their current screens makes my vision slightly blurry even after only a few minutes of use. i didn't realize there was a chance they might own some passively lit screen technology already. you've gotten my hopes up.
