A patented display technology for use for handhelds and mobile devices. These
screens do not need to be
backlit, which is a
drain on the device battery — instead they are illuminated by sunlight and the
movement of the liquid inside the screen. A display is produced using the
principles of
Electrowetting to create a
pixel
modulator. Inside, oil is colored with a dye, which enables the creation of a
display when different pixels are independently activated to make an image.
Liquavista was developed under the Philip Research Labs in Eindhoven. The
company, Liquavista BV, is backed by Philips.
