Amazon Buys Sunlight Readable Color Display Company Liquavista

Posted by Unknown on from the dreaming-of-pixel-qi dept.

Nate the greatest writes "It looks like those 4 month old rumors are true. Amazon has confirmed today that they have bought Liquavista, a Netherlands based screen tech company. There's no info yet on how much Amazon paid to Samsung, but previous rumors suggested that the asking price was under $100 million. Amazon also isn't talking about how they plan to use the electrowetting screen tech, but many are assuming that a Color Kindle is in the works."

    Not to be confused with electro-bed-wetting tech, which really just involves a bed, an electric blanket, and some fresh piss.
    Apple and Samsung are still locking horns over that one.
