Good idea

[flexcapacitor1]

if this means i can use my laptop outside i'll buy it

[veenaiyuri]

i actually had a chance to see the actual demo display. the colors were absolutely amazing.

Wish i could see it in person, the cameras don't do any justice.

[monstercameron]

@Arvak777 no camera can!

[sinblesser]

if it mass produces for phones...... some dumb person is bound to brake the darn thing by just throwing it around; due to the moving parts. hm.... great idea though, needs some revision.

[UHeinrich]

now thats pretty useful

[Nullstr1ng]

ok in LCD .. we have a DEAD PIXEL caused by some led not functioning properly..

so this shutter display we'll have .... what?

[razoraresharp]

@Nullstr1ng

jammed shutter? xD

[Max0Axe]

I think it's because of the camera .... cuz when I try filming a TV with a video pro cam it also gives these moving parts, so I don't think it's from the screen

[LTF85199]

Moving parts degrade faster over time ..... but still a great innovation ... maybe it has some unique applications..

[gordon1201]

cool, but seems very complex! Im impressed they have the means for mass manufacturing. I wonder how well it works when shacken? Youd imagine the "pixels" would go nuts with all those moving parts moving out of control

[EyeWarrior0545]

Finally a good invention

[combatplayer]

this is very cool... though i could imagine a lot of trouble from having moving parts inside of a display.

[KhmerTrance]

@combatplayer Very true. Surely moving parts are more susceptible to damage from shock.
