The “Kyobo eReader” uses for this technology to Qualcomm’s Mirasol, in preparation for over a year, which is neither the LCD or electronic ink, but combines the best of both. We can talk about the first color eReader in the world believing that products like the Kindle or the Nook Color Fire tablets are specialized.
Mirasol: the advantages of electronic ink without the disadvantages
His real name IMOD for Interferometric Modulator, the technology is to begin a process of reflective display, like that of the electronic ink, not transmissive like a LCD or OLED.
Provided that it is mainly based LCD, more than electronic ink, since each pixel consists of RGB sub-pixels, but below which is a reflective membrane, and not a reverse -lighting.
And this is all the difference. Without such a device, it mimics like electronic ink rendering of the paper, and as such is much more readable that there is ambient light, while consuming very little power.
And to top it off, while the manipulation of matter leads to a real slow process for the electronic ink, Mirasol offers a refresh rate of 30 frames per second to display animations and video. The supply of content “Kyobo eReader” also includes the video.
Kyobo eReader: Android 2.3
Beyond the display process, the “Kyobo eReader” do not look.
Its screen is slightly smaller than that of competition, against 6 5.7 inches, but it shows a higher resolution, XGA, SVGA cons, a comfortable resolution of 223 pixels per inch. The size and weight of the unit are unfortunately not provided.
It features a Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC S2 1 GHz, a Wi-Fi, without further detail, and has the advantage of running Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
The “Kyobo eReader” is now marketed in South Korea retail price of 350,000 won, or about 230 euros. A reasonable extra cost for a world first and a revolution in e-book. Hopefully Qualcomm will forge partnerships with rapid Western players.
