Video on Mirasol display from Engadget
Engadget posted a video of Mirasol display in high-res.
I cannot find a way to embed high-res youtube video here, so you may click the video to visit youtube for high-res video. The article also mentions the following. Quote:

I wonder if they're telling people the expected power draw during video compared to, say, backlit LCD, rather than compared to EPD. Gotta say 240ppi is getting mighty close to what a good reader should have...I hope they can maintain a reasonably dense black state. Last edited by LDBoblo; 01-09-2010 at 05:06 PM. |

I don't like the page turns on this or the liquavista screens. They're just too slow. I don't want to give up speed for color (or not much). I just want the pages to pop up the way they do with readers now.

You were serious? You actually think demo playback software, probably made in Flash, used to do nothing but display the framerate and color capability of a screen is some kind of final reader software that is going to be adopted by device manufacturers?
That's almost as odd as another poster thinking that the demo chassis used in Liquavista's screen demonstration was a real proposed device casing. |

Maybe I can take a guess.............because Mirasol refresh rate is 100x faster than eink?
The fact that they can animate a page turn doesn't mean it has to be animated. It means it's able to play smooth video. |

Size is perfect. Once they get the color corrected, (too much yellow?) how neat for reading magazines. Or picture books. QUILT BOOKS!

Sorry, don't mean to demean you then.
This company makes displays. They're not making UI, they're not making the viewing software, they're not making the device at all. Just the screen and the development kit for it. Nothing except the fundamental display hardware is to be considered a "product" in these demonstrations. |
