is it possible to have a back light on the mirasol screen? So that it gives viewers to option to use background light and also have it look like traditional lcd screen
This is awesome. From the user's point of view it would behave very much like E Ink, although the underlying technology is totally different. But I'm sceptical that colour ebook readers will be out 3Q 2011, new technology is always slower than they say it's going to be...if you look at the manufacturer's website the only real products with this technology are tiny, monochrome displays so far.
Outstanding technology! Imho it will kick out the oled and lcd technologies from the market. It would be great to see such displays in notebooks in close time.....
@MegaSnork I don't think it was intended for laptop or monitor. we have LCD and OLED for that. This is to be an interactive electronic paper or E-paper. you suppose to view it in a bright places, just like a normal paper.
i like to see this on ipad. Its all about the power saving. I love an ipad that only require a charge once a month, not something that run out in less than half a day
It's pretty small. Can't they make this like the size of Kindle DX with annotation capability and some type of wispernet technology. I also hope that this supports epub, mobi , ms word, and native pdf.
Liquavista (search Youtube) has developed a similar e-paper display. Also color & video but apparently cheaper to produce. Wondering which display will make it.
@has307 Nope. You're looking at the future technology the Kindle will be using. Amazon and Mirasol are working together. Hopefully we will see it by X-Mas 2012.
Finally! Why after so long time they finally brought this technology back? It was used even in 2002, but none used it in their devices until now... Very good technology.
I want this video on my Trax CU575 phone.

Looks great. But I thinkt it's worth waiting to see this in actual devices to see how much it will cost and what drawbacks there are.

Looks great. You're still going to need a back light for indoor usage though...and that's going to bring the power consumption up.

@beingose4 It's E-paper, not a monitor. it's suppose to act like paper, whcih means no backlight. if you want a monitor, get yourself an ipad.
