Will The Futures Pixels Be Micro-Mirrors?
I unintentionally set off a nice little flame war last week when I criticized Samsung's decision to go with a Pentile sub-pixel matrix for their new Galaxy Nexus phone, a display technology that doesn't have an illustrious past and, while it may prove itself in this generation, still made me lose confidence in the phone. Sub-pixel layouts are something few people consider, but (as the Engineer Guy explains) all those pretty colors you see on your displays are almost always made up of a few tiny monochromatic dots. E-ink screens use one dot per pixel, but they are of course monochrome, and the Mirasol and Pixel Qi displays we've seen also use an RGB matrix. But research being done in Taiwan may combine the best of both worlds.Wallen Mphep, a researcher at National Chiao Tung University, has created a new kind of pixel that operates completely differently from existing technologies. The way the new screens work is that each pixel, normally created by a set of sub-pixels, is instead a single mechanism of silvered crystal.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/uxiggUf5hjI/
