The source link is [1], earlier sale negotiations [2]. I hope Amazon manages to aggressively commercialize this technology. Ever since seeing development prototypes in videos I've been smitten. [3] [1] [LINK] [2] [LINK] [3] [VIDEO]

Does anyone know if there any other initiatives beside PixelQi and e-ink displays for producing (modern) displays that can be used with passive light? It would be fantastic to be able to bring my laptop into the sunlight for work. And with the expectation of greatly improved battery life. Edit: Ooh, I found Liquavista: [LINK] Edit2: And Electrowetting as well: [VIDEO] Hmm, why isn't this in use.

a) Would you please tell me where you found how much it costs and where I can buy it please? b) I really need something like this urgently. $1000 isn't much, if it makes your life measurably easier. It IS expensive, but unlike tablets, smartphones, convertibles and notebooks this is something that directly effects my productivity. c) I was hoping for foldable Mirasol or Electrowetting (EWD) displays in Q1 2014 since 2009 and it's still not there. These are the most promising display technologies that I know of, which are still hold back for reasons that I simply don't understand. It may have to do with the Display Technology Cartels, bad marketing, or no funding. I just wish to know why Electrowetting isn't mainstream yet. See here: [VIDEO] The MirasolHD 5,1" display prototype with 2.560 x 1.440 Pixel had a pixel depth of incredible 577 ppi and you could use clearly see everything at direct sunlight. Here's an old video I found: [LINK] PS: It makes me quite sad and disappointed that we still don't have this technology: [LINK]
