Qualcomm eyes the e-reader market
Quote:
Qualcomm, which is best known for its mobile phone chipsets and processors, is to build a $1bn displays production facility. The factory in Taiwan will produce small area, low-power displays for mobile phones and e-readers.
Qualcomm aims to compete with organic LED technology, currently seen as the best low-power display alternative for always-on handheld terminals such as e-readers.
The manufacturer developed a reflective MEMS-based display technology, called Mirasol, a number of years ago.
However, this investment is a significant move to use the technology for consumer priced displays.
