Pixel Qi dual-mode displays sell out, in a good way

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 4:19 am

Unless you’re in the music biz, selling out is generally considered a good thing just as long as you can restock, pronto like, to meet consumer demand. So we’re sure Mary Lou Jepsen is roiling in her jollies knowing that the first batch of $275 dual-mode Pixel Qi displays have sold out after less than 24-hours of retail availability. You can pre-order now for a second shipment of the 10.1-inch reflective LCDs expected to arrive on MakerShed by the middle of next week. Until then, we patiently wait for the first-hand DIY experiences to begin trickling in.

Pixel Qi netbook display replacement kit finally on sale

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 4:17 am

You’ve waited and waited and, let’s face it, waited for this day to arrrive. Now Pixel Qi’s 10.1-inch display is available for DIY types looking to swap out their LCD for a dual-mode reflective Qi display capable of slipping into a power-sipping e-paper mode that’s visible even in direct sunlight. It’s only certified to work with Samsung N130 and Lenovo S10-2 machines but we’re sure you’ll figure out how to slide this pup into the Acer or ASUS netbook of your dreams. On sale now at MakerShed for $275, the swap reportedly takes about 5 minutes using only a screwdriver. So get out of here — stop waiting for the majors to introduce a Pixel Qi netbook, it’s time to build your own and put those claims of a 20+ hour laptop to the test.

[Thanks, Philpax]

Canon patent application takes in-camera HDR to the pixel level

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 11:19 am
There’s certainly cameras out there that offer in-camera HDR (or High Dynamic Range), but none that go quite as far as what Canon has detailed in a recently published patent application. The short of it is that Canon’s proposed method would alter exposure values at the individual pixel level, which should effectively emulate what’s now possible but stitching together multiple photographs taken at different exposure settings — and, for that matter, even open up some new possibilities since those single-pixel exposure values could be tweaked at will. Of course, there’s no indication as to what type of camera the method would be used in, or any evidence that Canon has actually taken it beyond the patent application stage, so we wouldn’t recommend getting too excited about the possibilities just yet.

Pixel Qi manufacturing delays fixed, ready for ’some of the largest computer companies in the world’

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 2:18 am

We’ve long had a thing for Pixel Qi and its energy sipping dual-mode LCDs with switchable backlight; displays that carve out a niche between traditional LCDs hungry for power and long living e-paper displays. Unfortunately, even though Pixel Qi began to ramp production lines late last year, we still haven’t seen the displays shipping in any retail products. Turns out that while the screens have been made available in some “specialized products that aren’t sold in stores yet,” Pixel Qi’s manufacturer of choice ran into some snags that slowed down deployments. That seems set to change according to a new blog post by CEO Mary Lou Jepsen. Manufacturing has now ramped to the schedule and scale required to meet “strong pull from the some of the largest computer companies in the world.” Mary Lou also tells us that Pixel Qi’s DIY display kit partner will be announced shortly and that it has “wider viewing angle technology” coming in the fall that should help rectify one of Pixel Qi’s weaknesses. So yeah, good news all around, but we’ve heard these promises before and still don’t have product in hand.
