Electrowetting for E-readers and More

 

Chris Nice joined Liquavista in January 2009 as senior engineer/project manager for VideoFLiCs. The VideoFLiCs project is a collaborative project with Plastic Logic aimed at developing a display combining Liquavistas electrowetting reflective media and Plastic Logics organic TFT backplane. Before Liquavista Chris worked for numerous start-up companies developing processes and materials for display and opto-electronic applications, including Plastic Logic and Cambridge Display Technology where he was responsible for development, documentation and transfer of OLED and EP display fabrication process technologies. Chris began his career at British Telecom research laboratories working on device fabrication process development for novel opto-electronic components used in high speed data transmission networks.

Based on the principles of Electrowetting, Liquavista has developed a new type of electronic screen technology that will change the way we interact with electronic products in the future. Liquavista's displays create bright and colourful images that ensure excellent indoor and outdoor viewability and use dramatically less battery power. The company's ultimate vision is to build on the extraordinary optical performance and unique power efficiency of its technology to lead a green revolution in low power displays for e-readers, notebook PCs, desktop monitors and televisions.
