Qualcomm’s mirasol showing color video @ 30fps! from IntoMobile on Vimeo.
Qualcomm has been working on their FLO TV technology, but there is more to it then we originally thought. The new tech will be using a new type of display screen, a passive technology known as “mirasol”. Details are still sketchy at this time, but as you can see from the video, there’s more then a little potential there.
There’s actually promise on multiple levels. Qualcomm makes phones for other people, and chipsets for other devices so the manufacturing relations ships are already there. Can a full-color e-book be far behind? Assuming this tech is as advanced in the development process as it appears to be, we might even know by this holiday season.
