Many know the company PixelQi is doing a great job in making their screens nearly as effective as e-ink when taking the screen outside, while in darker environments you have a fully color display that can display movies at an acceptable framerate (unlike e-ink where the framerate takes several hundreds of milli seconds).

Pixel Qi was aiming their technology originally for netbooks, to make them more battery efficient, and easier to read in light environments.
But now it seems they have desire to apply the technology to a HD TV as well.

Though I know it has little to do with ebooks, but what would you say if you have a 1280x720 (or perhaps a 1900x1080) pixel monitor, that can display books as well as play back movies, and can run off of batteries (successfully lowering power usage over regular LCD TV's and monitors)?

I thought it was a nice topic of though, especially if you know that the costprice of their first screen will be aimed at $100!

If that means the $100 like the $100 EeePc, or perhaps the $100 OLPC XO, you could expect a $250 street price at initial release, and dropping to $175 after about a year later.
Or perhaps they meant the consumer (street) price of $100?

Anyways, with less new products to look forward to, these PixelQi screens might be one of the things that could brighten up 2010 for a while I'd say.

Another nice thing is the newer Atom processor,which could go hand in hand with these types of screens!
An EeePc with the newer Atom and PixelQi's screen, could go from 4 hours to 8 hours of battery life, without adding a significant cost to the price tag; while still being more environment friendly.
