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?"

    From the Iridigm website:

    The power of Iridigm displays derives from the replication of some of Mother Nature's most beautiful creations: Butterflies.

    ...and the power of the Iridigm PR department derives from the ingestion of some of Mother Nature's most bodacious plants...
