These LCD displays operate in two modes &#8212; a normal color mode like most laptop displays and a non-backlit mode that allows viewing in bright light. Once the backlight is turned off the display is viewed in a black-and-white mode like that used in traditional e-Ink readers. I intend to get some hands-on time with the Pixel Qi technology while at CES this week, especially after talking to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liliputing.com\/2010\/01\/up-close-with-pixel-qis-dual-mode-lcd-display-video.html\">Brad Linder of Liliputing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Brad spent some time with a Lenovo netbook that has been fitted with a Pixel Qi display and he couldn&#8217;t say enough good things about it. When the display is running in normal color mode, the power consumption is 2.5 W; when the backlight is turned off the display is completely viewable but only consumes 0.5 W. This has major battery life ramifications for mobile computers, and it&#8217;s easy to see why Brad is so excited. Check out his video of the screen in action and you&#8217;ll be excited, too.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/stats.wordpress.com\/b.gif?w=780\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:D7DqB2pKExk\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:D7DqB2pKExk\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:dnMXMwOfBR0\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=dnMXMwOfBR0\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?a=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:F7zBnMyn0Lo\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/jkOnTheRun?i=bPhA1kk2LWo:loPjyd_dfMk:F7zBnMyn0Lo\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/jkOnTheRun\/~4\/bPhA1kk2LWo\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the technologies that has intrigued me for a while is that used in the Pixel Qi display.
