Pixel Qi Screens are for Laptops and Tablets, Not Just OLPC (Video)

Posted by Roblimo on from the tablet-screens-that-won't-make-you-squint-in-sunlight dept.

While at CES, Timothy Lord talked with Pixel Qi Chief Operating Officer John Ryan about how the company, which was originally founded to make screens for the One Laptop Per Child project, is now moving into the commercial market for laptop and tablet screens. Pixel Qi screens are not only inexpensive to make, but are easier to read in sunlight than standard LCDs -- and use less power, too. What they're doing now, says Timothy in the video, is "pretty cool," so check it out.
