Liquavista is developing a low-power display technology that could challenge both LCDs and e-paper screens.
The company has been working on video-rate colour displays with low power requirements, for products that fill the gap between existing e-readers and tablet PCs.
Guy Demuynck, who was replaced as CEO of Liquavista in the acquisition, spoke to +Plastic Electronics about the company's technology in Q4 2010 (see +Plastic Electronics 3.3). Johan Feenstra, previously CTO of the firm, has now become CEO.
