E-paper with Color and Video
Products
Our screen won the "Best of Computex" Award from Laptop Magazine at Computex 2009
We have now started production of our first screens (a 10.1" diagonal) and are shipping to our customers (the device makers).
Epaper Screens- with Color And Video
Our first screens are 10" diagonal screens for netbooks and ebook readers. These screens rival the best epaper displays on the market today but in addition have video refresh and fully saturated color. The epaper mode has 3 times the resolution of the fully saturated color mode allowing for a high resolution reading experience without sacrifice to super color fidelity for graphics. In addition these screens can be used in sunlight. For more information contact: vivek@pixelqi.com.

Low-Cost, Very Low Power HDTV
We have begun design of a sub-10 watt HDTV that can be used in hundreds of millions of households that don't have steady, if any, access to electrical power. The typical HDTV uses more than 100 Watts and often draws several hunded watts. We are working on a way to massively lower the power consumption, and significantly lower the price with a target price of $100. Thus this HDTV can run off of battery that can be charged up when the power is on, or charged with a small solar panel, crank, or so forth.

We are focused on the production of next-generation computing platform - we have both a long term vision and the first step products towards that vision - with an ASIC like approach. Pixel Qi is a fabless ASIC company that specializes in screens. The screen is just a big ASIC chip - we work closely with the large LCD factories. The trick - we use their standard processes and materials and can produce new screens with radical new performance in about a year. Rather than just a demo - we can get all the way to high volume mass production in a year. Compare this to other display technologies which take on average 20 years to first production, and perhaps never achieve high volume mass production. We are working on a variety of projects some of which our customers would like us to keep confidential.
