Comments on: Is There Life Between TFT LCD and Electrophoretic? http://www.displaysearchblog.com/2009/06/is-there-life-between-tft-lcd-and-electrophoretic/ The Official Blog of DisplaySearch, an NPD Group Company Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:26:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: David Barnes http://www.displaysearchblog.com/2009/06/is-there-life-between-tft-lcd-and-electrophoretic/comment-page-1/#comment-1259 David Barnes Wed, 03 Jun 2009 00:13:34 +0000 http://www.displaysearchblog.com/?p=584#comment-1259 Several other demonstrations at the conference show ways to cut power consumption significantly while delivering full-color video using conventional TFT LCD processes. I think Pixel Qi is on to something important. I hope her efforts will spur others to take LCD to the next level of performance and price. As I explained in the Business Conference, TFT LCD suppliers are cautious people in some ways because they gamble so much on each fab investment. Sometimes, smaller companies must be the ones to show suppliers how displays could serve us better.

She also said that the Pixel Qi display would be shipping in a mini-note PC later this year, though she declined to state the brand(s). If Pixel Qi can bring this display to market, and at a price comparable to TFT LCD, then it would solve one of the biggest complaints of mini-notes, their poor battery life.
