heard at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona that an unnamed OEM will be launching a Qualcomm Mirasol based device in Q3 2010.
Mobile chip-maker Qualcomm has been developing a colour screen technology, that relies on ambient, rather than device-generated light for some time now.
At MWC 2010, Mirasol marketing director Cheryl Goodman (pictured) revealed that an un-named OEM will be launching a device, not dissimilar to the 5.7 inch demonstration device shown below, in autumn of this year.
The technology is scalable to any screen size and is several orders of magnitude less power hungry than LCDs. Furthermore, it can support video and is apparently much less power hungry than even e-ink for graphically intensive material.
