Pixel Qi Starting Production

********************************EXCERPT******************************

by mary_lou_jepsen on December 7th, 2009

Our first production batch of screens will be ready shortly. We will be ramping production scale over Q1 2010.

We can now announce that the first units are going into specialized tablet devices with multi-touch. Increasingly these screens will be super-slim, but some customers prefer the standard thickness.

The Nook E-Reader — sounds like something late into the porn market.

E-ink was the main advantage these readers had over tablets. Oh, well. Bye-bye Nook.

Notion Ink tablet first with Pixel Qi display

****************************EXCERPT********************************

December 30, 2009 9:27 AM PST

While the world awaits the birth of the Apple tablet, there is another touch-screen device that may have more of an impact--at least technologically. Notion Ink has announced that Adam, an Android-based tablet PC, will ship in June 2010 for around $325. However, what is really exciting is that this machine may be the first to sport the new 10.1-inch Pixel Qi display.

What's the big deal with Pixel Qi technology? While it can perform like a standard LCD display, the Pixel Qi panel has a low-power transflective display, which allows ambient light to illuminate the screen, and an e-paper mode. The latter resembles a black-and-white e-reader and is meant to be used under bright environments. This allows the Nvidia Tegra machine to consume 90 percent less power than conventional panels.
