Mirasol - Qualcomm's new e-paper technology
This is a prototype of Qualcomm’s new e-book. Built on the new Mirasol display technology, which uses the same principle as butterflies. It is known that butterflies themselves are not colored - they simply reflect the desired wavelength thanks to the scales on the wings.
Mirasol uses the same principle. “Microroughnesses” of the display (in fact, these are not irregularities, but it doesn’t matter), they reflect the desired wave and the picture comes to life. Simple, bright and energy-saving even less than traditional e-ink paper.
