Maybe it's rubbish.
However the underlying idea / technology has more potential to do a low power colour screen with ambient light than a coloured filter matrix on top of eink pixels (black balls in a milky white liquid).
I'd thought the reason for Mirasol's failure (one ereader screen in products by two Asian booksellers) was the double dip high royalty cost of dealing with Qualcomm (royalty on part plus they demand a percent of the product price ex-factory). Perhaps it just wasn't very good.
I do think the idea of video on it sounded more like typical Qualcomm hype than anything viable. It should have been OK for text with colour?
