Screens Liquavista - left to wait quite a bit?

Finally, there was fresh news about the promising technology of reflective screens Liquavista. An article on this topic has been published on the IEEE Spectrum magazine website, including a video from Samsung’s research center in the Netherlands.



The last time the technology was demonstrated at the SID exhibition in May of 2011, since then Samsung has kept silence. I even had a fear that the technology would be put on the back burner given the heightened dances around AM OLED. Fortunately, it seems it was not justified.



On the video from the article you can see the achievements of researchers:



Progress, frankly, is impressive. The bright colors of these screens contrast sharply with the dull colors ( without temporarily?) Of the late Mirasol, not to mention the colored E-ink.



One of the important advantages of the technology is the equipment of the factories for the production of LCD screens suitable for ~ 90% for the production of new items.

In addition, unlike Mirasol and E-ink, the technology allows you to make screens with backlight. At the same time, the power consumption of such a screen is 1/3 (without 1/10 illumination) from what a “normal” LCD consumes. They promise us a doubling of the duration of the plates from one charge.

They promise to bring technology to the market this year, but they don’t say from which devices they plan to start. Hopefully, either at the CES exhibition starting tomorrow, or at the February MWC, new information will pop up.



You can get acquainted with the technology in Russian in this excellent article.
