We've been waiting and waiting to see Pixel Qi's (http://www.engadget.com/tag/pixelqi) 3Qi e-paper screen in a device, and we were hoping to see some sort of solid announcement at CES, but looks like we will still be waiting. Though the company has ramped up production on its e-ink killer which allows you to turn the backlight off on an LCD screen, they're still working with its half-a-dozen partners. We were will told though that within the year we will see a manufacturer that "everyone is familiar with" announcing a device that uses the technology. No word though if it will be a netbook, e-reader or tablet.
Though we've seen prototype devices before, we got another look at it today. The high resolution display was hacked into a Lenovo IdeaPad S10 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/IdeaPadS10/). With the backlight on the screen color looked crisp though horizontal viewing angles while watching a video clip on the screen were poor in some lightling. Similarly, when we turned the backlight off, which switches the display to just a black and white mode, the viewing angles on a movie weren't great. Regardless, we continue to be impressed with the refresh rates of the display. Hit the break for a quick video.Continue reading Pixel Qi screens to be used by major manufacturer in 2010 (http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/pixelqi-screens-to-be-used-by-major-manufacturer-in-2010/)
