New Display Technology to Compete with LCDs?
NetRanger writes "C|Net's News.com has a really interesting article to a new display technology that is based on interference of light patterns. The company, Iridigm, has a very compelling case for why their display method is far superior to LCD, including far brighter displays, far less power consumption... but the cool this is that the display actually works like RAM (it retains its state until voltage is applied to reset it) -- so what do you see when the driver crashes?"
That's gonna make shutting off the monitor real fast to hide the porn from your (wife/boss/Priest/Teacher) a lot more difficult.
Therefore, this tech will never fly.

Not so much a sig as a lack of one.
The power of Iridigm displays derives from the replication of some of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations: Butterflies.

Porn Screen Of Death?
More like Porn Screen Of Divorce in my case...
To solve the problem of undesired residue on the screen the manufacturer could add a slider on the bottom of the unit that the user would slide from one side to the other - erasing the content :).

So really, it'll only use less power for those damned campers!
