A phone call to the office of Adrian Fu, a Hong Kong- based spokesman for Qualcomm, seeking comment went unanswered.

Qualcomm Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Paul Jacobs has said that the potential overall market for displays similar to Qualcomm’s Mirasol screens would be worth about $11 billion in annual sales. Jacobs said in September that Qualcomm plans to sharply cut the price of its Mirasol technology and to develop a bigger market.
