Mirasol interference displays were developed by Qualcomm, but the last update was that Apple had taken over the lab in Taiwan but nothing came of it due Apple refocusing on OLED & micro-LED instead. I think eInk has their hooks in too deep into the e-reader industry for manufacturers to make the switch. |

That's the one I knew about. No doubt they'd have had to find someone to make it and I suspect it it was tax deductible loss. Also likely they get a better price from E Ink Corp than say Meebook or Bigme. Buried a long time ago. Does Amazon have any assets other than datacentres, offices, warehouses and R&D groups like Lab126 (who outsource Kindle production). The Amazon branded products are all OEM buyin?

Even pretty ancient SD TV was about 0.43mm, about 36x pixels in same space (inc R G B sub pixels) as Etulipa Posters, shop displays and billboards, and only if cheap. |

Also, whatever happened to Display Electronic Slurry e-Papers? I belive they were quite hyped up 2 years back to be a solid alternative to eInk, but then faded into obscurity. |

I broke down last evening and pre-ordered a Libra Colour and sleep cover. It felt weird though to be ordering just one device, and for myself and not for my now deceased wife

So sorry for you X. I'm sure she would have loved to have a Libra Colour.

It would have joined her collection of eReaders. I've forgotten what exactly she had but I'm sure there was a Sage and at least longer other in regular usage along with a Kindle of some type. Unfortunately I then had a major house fire a month and a half after her passing and lost everything!

Sorry Peter, I'm sure she would have enjoyed the novelty.
