During the reporting quarterly conference Qualcomm's guide reported on the state of affairs with screens and technology Mirasol. It displays a color image which is formed due to interference phenomena. Movable MEMS-membrane within each pixel create gaps that reinforce the reflected light of a certain wavelength: red, green and blue. On the first generation Mirasol displays produced two or three models of electronic books. In the summer of 2012, Qualcomm acknowledged the imperfection
of technology for a truly mass production.
Last year, Qualcomm demonstrated the first examples of the second generation screens Mirasol. What is surprising, despite the problems in the past with sticking MEMS-cell resolution displays second generation doubled up to 577 dpi. The secret of this company disclosed last month at the SID 2014. As it turned out, the second generation of displays represent one pixel structure. The first generation of displays based on the classical RGB-triad when the shades are formed with the participation
of each of the three primary colors. In the second generation of displays, each pixel can be any color. In MEMS-2.0 cells do not have three fixed positions. Its upper translucent membrane is moved vertically over a wide range of intermediate positions. From a practical point of view, increasing the resolution eliminates several defeat of the sticky cells and rejection may become smaller.
The second generation of displays is called no longer IMOD, and SMI (single mirror IMOD). Qualcomm company produces two types of SMI-screens. One 5.1-inch with a resolution of 2560 x 1440, and the second - 1.6-inch with a resolution of 600 x 600 pixels. The latter is used in branded smart watch Qualcomm - model Toq.
At the press conference, the company said that it began distributing a license for the second generation of screens Mirasol. The license for the first generation of screens began to spread in the second half of 2012, when Qualcomm suspended mass production of large-IMOD-screens. At the same time, some companies continue to receive first-generation screens and Qualcomm has promised to preserve their release for those customers who will continue to use such displays.
