    I m a bit confused about the Lab Lighting-Snapshot. On the photograph, this is the only case when the glare screen actually looks best.

    I guess Lab Lighting means, that the number of ligh sources is heavily limited, so a strongly reflecting surface can be adjusted such that no such source is seen?

    Hi,
    If i understand it is possible to get a bit more than 1920 x 1060 resolution with this screen in full color in a 18.4 inch monitor. meaning full HD(1080p) playback. and less than 1680 x 1050 on a 15.4 inch.
    I did my estimation taking to account that your screen has a max resolution in color mode of 120ppi. I read somewhere that it was capable of 150dpi. But in the youtube clip, mary says its 120, so I took that number.

    What is the refresh rate? I tried googleing for it but didnt find an answer.

    Does it have the same ammount of colors than any other laptop Lcd? In color mode, does it take less electricity than other displays with the same settings? Is the process/materials to create these screens cheaper in anyway than the current screens?

    Please correct me if im wrong and i would like if you could answer my other questions.

    Thanks, ill be checking back for more news and to see if you where able to answer my questions.

    Keep the good work ;)

    The first announced device using pixel qi should be Aztak,

    see http://www.consumerelectronicsnet.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=899127

    “Aztak said it could offer several 3G e-readers, with some shipping late this year. The 3G wireless models might include one with a “flexi” 9.7-inch screen plus a mobile Internet device (MID) with a color screen that can also be used in monochrome mode for e-reading. Such a dual-purpose screen will be available by year’s end from Pixel Qi, with whom Aztak said it has “held extensive in-person discussions,” according to Aztak global business development director Bob Barry.”
