LiquaVista to demo color epaper reader at CES

[Liquavista]

Positive point is the great similarities in the production line with LCD-fabs. Consequence: time to market is relatively short and costs relatively low. No official dates can be given yet, but we are aiming at end of this year (as can be found in several press releases).

I'm not sure if anyone has posted a link to this video about LiquidVista paper from engadget... but here is the link. Sorry if it is a dupe.

I remember waiting for eink for at least a year before it came out. Luckily for this display processing is already quite adequate nowadays, at least we won't have to wait for that hurdle.


The image changes on the color model were impressive AND NEED NO FLASH TO BLACK PAGE...
This display looks just about ready for computing.

The LiquaVista and Mirasol technologies function very differently. But you're right, neither are truly bistable. LiquaVista doesn't even claim theirs is.

Just a minor thing, but Gyricon was a distinct display technology compared to an electrophoretic one such as eInk. However both technologies (as well as Electowetting) were initially developed at Xerox PARC around the same time.

Electrowetting is known ever since the 19th century and NOT developed by Xerox Parc at all. Various applications of electrowetting are inventions by Philips, later spun out: Miortech, Varioptics, and us, Liquavista.

I knew the principle of electrowetting dates back to the eighteen hundreds, but how do modern eletrowetting displays functionally differ from the "electrocapillarity display" developed by Nick Sheridon at PARC?
