LiquavistaBrightTM upgraded to include brighter screens, fully interactive touch-panels and true paper-like appearance
7th January 2010 – Eindhoven – Following the Launch of
LiquavistaColor earlier this week,
Liquavista BV., have today announced an upgrade to its LiquavistaBright technology platform; their first generation black and white platform with video capability. These improvements include a further increase in brightness, the integration of fully interactive touch-panel technology and a range of finishing which includes true paper-like appearance. These specific upgrades enable users to utilise all the dynamic features of Liquavista’s technology such as video content and enhanced user interfaces with significantly lower power consumption than current eBook Readers available on the market today, without sacrificing the ‘paperlike’ appearance that consumers find appealing.
“Following on from the success of our original LiquavistaBright release, we have been busy developing our technology in-line with our roadmaps to deliver even better screen experience to the consumer” stated Guy Demuynck, Liquavista’s CEO. “LiquavistaBright enables consumers to enjoy displays that give them the same paper-like experience as a printed page, but with the enhanced experience they expect from fully dynamic and interactive devices. No other technology offers this range of benefits with such hi-fidelity performance!”
“The future for next generation mobile devices is very exciting as we continue to develop displays using Liquavista’s advanced technologies” added CTO and Liquavista founder, Johan Feenstra. “To be able to announce such a significant upgrade in such a short period of time is a testament to our ability to develop this exciting technology on existing LCD manufacturing processes and infrastructure. This is why we refer to our technology as “LCD2.0”. This enables us to rapidly bring exciting new features to life in both usability and performance, and to quickly react to evolving consumer and market drivers.”
“With the existing market for eReaders already starting to revolutionise the way we read and the way content is delivered, we feel the time has come that the users had access to a far better experience.” added Guy Demuynck “We believe an eReader should not just provide basic reading but also give dynamic user interaction, video, and web-content. LiquavistaBright provides all these benefits whilst further reducing power consumption and extending the product battery life”
Liquavista are developing three technology platforms (LiquavistaBright™, LiquavistaColor™ and LiquavistaVivid™) planned for product implementation throughout 2010/2011.
The first technology platform, LiquavistaBright, enables a smooth and fast user interface on eReader devices, thanks to the inherent video capability plus a new paper-like experience. Being able to move and scroll the content seamlessly will allow consumers to have a fully featured UI and significantly larger effective screen, enabling access to other more traditional online media such as web content and video, as well as both tabloid and broadsheet newsprint. In addition, these displays will be brighter and have more contrast than current solutions. Devices using the LiquavistaBright display can combine the durable eBook experience, which can be found in the current eReaders, with a new multimedia experience, which is according to recent marketing research one of the most requested benefits of future eReaders.
Liquavista will be demonstrating the upgraded samples of LiquavistaBright as well as the future generations of the technology platforms on stand 12041 at CES 2010 taking place 7th to 11th January 2010 at Las Vegas Convention Centre or you can see the latest video of our demonstrators by visiting
