  • Liquavista Introduces Next Generation Displays
  • As display technology moves on from LCDs to LEDs, Liquavista has gone in a totally different direction. Yesterday, the company debuted their brighter, more efficient ColorBright display using electrowetting technology.

    The company claims that the displays are functional in dark and direct lighting situations, can be viewed at any angle and that they provide “TV-like picture quality” while consuming much less power than traditional LCDs. The technology is currently targeted for use in watches and cell phones, but there are plans for larger video displays as well.

    The technology was developed to be compatible with existing LCD manufacturing processes, so its introduction can be quick and at low cost.

    Screens are a major battery drainer, but the ColorBright display could significantly add to the battery life of your mobile device since it doesn’t rely on a backlight. This could be especially useful to devices such as cell phones, whose displays often unnecessarily drain the available power resources.

    For a description of what electrowetting is and how it can produce a visual display, check out Liquavista’s website.

Are Streetcars Really Better Than Buses?

The Infrastructurist certainly thinks so, and provides 36 Reasons Streetcars Are Better Than Buses. I agree, but let’s not gild the lily here; streetcars are not without a few flaws.

1. they can’t get out of the way; one can be stuck behind cars turning left (or broken down) for a long time.

2. they are heavy. They can shake the neighbourhood around them.

3. They are really noisy screeching around curves.
