Tim, The Pixel Qi screen is OK in the sun notice they did not show any true colors in the picture. If you want to see the best in the sun. http://www.hvgc.com.au/blog/?p=262 It is designed for sunlight readabiltiy. I have not seen anything better, and I have looked. Richard www.craggyaero.com |

I look forward to this technology being tried for use in the glider. I don't see any data on the refresh rates in the e-paper mode, that will be the determining factor if one can be used in the glider. |

Equipment CAI 302, 303, Ultimate full brightness max current draw, Microair 760, Microair T2000 transponder, Borgelt B400, Tail water dump solenoid (this draws the most when used).

I've mentioned Pixel Qi here before as a future interesting display technology. Pixel Qi has a reflective LCD monochrome display with some "color hinting" in full daylight that runs with full color and backlight indoors. It is likely the most interesting near term evolution in consumer display technology and should appear in netbooks, e-book readers, tablets, etc. It's a pretty simple transition for vendors using current LCD displays to adopt the Pixel Qi display. They have high pixel density, low power (compared to conventional LCD).Unliek e-ink you get full motion and video etc. But it consumes significantly more power than e-ink. But personally I think e-ink type displays are too limiting even for e-book readers. Longer term we've got OLED, DMD and color e-ink technologies coming, but they have their own problems and will take longer to arrive in strength. Darryl |

Darryl Actually, there are prototype full-color "electronic-ink" displays being shown around to product developers. The press releases say they are fast enough for video. I expect that within a year or so we'll have paper thin reflective- only extremely low power displays that look like magazine covers. Glider cockpits will never be the same. |
