Pixel Qi wide view capacitive

[MadsterV]

eh.. nice going with the numbers.

Cute how the backlight got totally ignored in those calculations >_<

[Charbax]

@MadsterV What do you mean? Pixel Qi works without the need for a backlight.

[MadsterV]

@Charbax at 0:18 she turns it off and it becomes completely unreadable.

Yes, it's probably better under sunlight... but not so much as to not need it at all.

It's still an LCD, only it doesn't become a mirror under sunlight.

This, like the mirasol-esque GBA screen, benefit greatly from having sunlight AND a good backlight.

[Charbax]

@MadsterV It gets as dark as if you put paper in the same angle at the same kind of dark place in the room as this video was filmed. When you read on paper, you tend to not go read in the dark corners of rooms, same thing here, just go in to the light. It's much better for reading anyways when light is reflected.

[MadsterV]

@Charbax I admit the tablet looked nice under sunlight, except for the rather overwhelming reflection, which is due to the touch sensors.

Perhaps it looks good with the anti-reflective screen she mentioned. And without touch sensors. I still have my doubts though, after confusing e-ink with actual paper once.

[Charbax]

@MadsterV Also, there is the effect of the camera shutter speed not adapting fast enough to the new mode, and the angle at which I filmed that part. The screen is perfectly readable to the eye at that place in the room anyways, just like paper, just like e-ink.

[MadsterV]

@Charbax it looks *nothing* like e-ink.

Unless there's something I'm missing, I would *never* mistake that display for paper. White pigments' light diffussion is completely different to this.

Of course, I'd welcome a side-to-side test. That would be interesting.

And some real-world battery numbers, not theoretical.

I hope Adam will have the wide view capacitative screen!

[ThaFacka]

[demants]

[JesseBAndersen]

I so want a tablet pc with Pixel Qi.

[JulkerReviews]

@JesseBAndersen Get the Notion Ink ADAM

[JesseBAndersen]

@JulkerReviews It's not out yet. :p

[JulkerReviews]

@JesseBAndersen NO SHIT SHERLOCK

[JesseBAndersen]

@JulkerReviews Then why would you recommend getting something that you can't get?

[JulkerReviews]

@JesseBAndersen Just wait for it, it's called patience, don't waste your money on an apple product that will be obsolete in 2 months

[videosnix]

Good Job Mary Lou! Keep it up!

[ooooneeee]

what a great genius she is! I can't wait for devices with the screens :)

[onceigoblack]

[platerplane]

BUY THIS TECNOLOGY xD

[starrodkirby]

@platerplane

Bad idea.

[PacoBell]

Thank you for demonstrating the power consumption! Other reviewers glossed over that aspect.

[wollinger]

I want one!!!!!!!!!!!

[spedknot]

I'd get the linux one.

[Tierdaen]

This is a very good video, with lots of good information.

I am very disappointed that there are no products with these screens out yet.

[minnowtaur]

@Tierdaen There is the Pixel Qi netbook.. Not sure how it is priced etc, but it looks pretty nice

[Tierdaen]

I've not seen any Pixel Qi netbook. They very (VERY) recently made DIY drop-in screens available for netbooks, but they sold out quickly at MakerShed, and they were a little pricey. Still, it's a fantastic start, and it's very encouraging that something will actually exist in the consumer space, and will hopefully grow (the speed at which they sold out is promising).
