LiquaVista to demo color epaper reader at CES
Liquavista just posted a press release on their website.

Liquavista also updated their website with new information (it's on their homepage, no less). There is also a brief video here. Edit: A member found it on Youtube. Last edited by Nate the great; 01-06-2010 at 02:27 PM. |

For some reason I've been getting an error on the LiquaVista site, but this may be the same video on YouTube...
[edit=youtube link in Nate's post now] Looks interesting. I want products though, not just more demos! We'll see if they have any products out with LiquavistaBright first...which would be nice too. Last edited by LDBoblo; 01-06-2010 at 02:40 PM. |

But is this technology eInk? you know, reads as paper, no radiation and stuff? If it's just a low power LCD I'm not very interested...

Liquavista's products are e-paper as well, but using a different technology called EWD (electrowetting display), and have all the same basic reading qualities as E-Ink's e-paper displays, but are much more capable, with higher contrast and faster refresh options. The tech they're demonstrating now is their second product, which as the name suggests offers color viewing with quite high reflectance. It's based on their monochrome LiquavistaBright screen, which some of us are really hoping will find implementation in a product or two in the very near future. LiquavistaColor I think is not yet in commercial products, but may be before year's end or early next year. Last edited by LDBoblo; 01-06-2010 at 04:06 PM. |

lol. I wouldn't go that far but it looks awesome.
The e-reader market is heating up, 2010 will be it's year. By 2011 we'll probably have a lot of high quality color technologies and they will in wider usage for magazines. So will appear in doctors waiting rooms, schools, universities and so on. Devices holding things like encyclopedias will be much nicer with quality color displays. |

The refresh time is amazing. Color is great, I tend to read books without color [or pop-ups (^_^)v ] so I haven't been holding out for color.
One thing though, the fast refresh rate and the color combined seem revolutionary, and revolutionary changes in tech these days are super-rare. So I can't help but think they are cutting some kind of corner when it comes e-paper. But if it is the real deal, well done. |
