A patented display technology for use for handhelds and mobile devices. These
screens do not need to be backlit, which is a
drain on the device battery — instead they are illuminated by sunlight and the
movement of the liquid inside the screen. A display is produced using the
principles of Electrowetting to create a pixel
modulator. Inside, oil is colored with a dye, which enables the creation of a
display when different pixels are independently activated to make an image.
Liquavista was developed under the Philip Research Labs in Eindhoven. The
company, Liquavista BV, is backed by Philips.
Liquavista Liquavista was founded in 2006 to develop products using its patented HEOS display technology. Based on a decade of work done inside Philips Research Labs, the Electrowetting effect that underpins HEOS devices is a radical, yet simple way of producing high value displays.
