Our screen has won several awards: of note the 2010 SID Display of the Year Silver Award from SID; the 2010 IEEE ACE award for "Emerging technology with greatest potential for financial success", and last year 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. DIY kits are also available from Make Magazine - if you would like to order one click on this link
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.

About Pixel Qi:
Pixel Qi is a fab-less ASIC company that specializes in screens.
The screen is just a big ASIC chip - we work closely with the large LCD factories of the world. The trick: we use their standard processes and materials and can product new screens with radical new performance in about a year.
Rather than just create a demo - we can get all the way to high volume mass production in less than a year. Compare this to other novel display technologies which take on average 20 years to first production -or- perhaps never achieve high volume mass production.
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.
