4. mirasol® displays: based on Biomimicry:
Science Imitating Nature
Those who are inspired by a model other than Nature, a mistress above all
masters, are laboring in vain. - Leonardo Da Vinci
• The mirasol display works by
reflecting light to create color
• The phenomenon that makes a
butterfly’s wings shimmer is the same
principle mimicked in mirasol displays
Other examples of biomimicry: Low friction ship
hulls from shark skin
Velcro® from Morphing aircraft wings Neuromorphic chips
seeds clingy spurs from bird’s wings from neural networks

5. mirasol® Displays - A MEMS based Reflective Display
As a mechanical device, the mirror actuates due to an applied voltage, with a response time of
10 - 15 usec – easily supporting video applications
Simple Pixel Design using MEMS
- Light Modulation from applied voltage
- Color Selection from constructive interference
- Memory from electro-mechanical behavior
<1 uM
• No color filters • No polarizer • No transistors • No organic material • No backlight

6. What Has Worked in Print Since 1439?
• Early ereaders have mimicked the print (book/news) model well
- What’s important:
- Contrast
- Visibility
- Mobility
- no/low power obligation & lightweight
- Instant Access
• Expectations have changed,
- not because of iPad,
- but evidenced by iPad success
- color
are now mandatory
- video

10. Why should a Publisher Care About an Ereader’s Power Consumption?
Power Enables Revenue Growth & Customer Experience
The Immersive Lowered BOM costs reduces overall device costs,
easing pricing pressure on content
Reading With lower power consumed, each device has the
Experience potential for smaller/less expensive batteries
Device Bill of

Heat – Cost - Weight
Reflective displays are less
complex to drive resulting in 2/3 Low
less bandwidth use*

More usage time =
more opportunity for
carrier revenue
Average magazine is More ART= more content

Wired skewing up 500MB
Increased ART can drive

17. Efficient Displays Are Where Green E-readers Begin
Key Facts:
Research Whitepaper Commissioned by QMT, Authored by Pike
Research, a Cleantech Market Intelligence Firm
Analysis Results:
E-readers consume 90% less CO2 emission
equivalents than their print equivalents
- (1170 kg vs 120 kg)
Usage matters – using a mirasol display saves
additional 500kg over use
- (equivalent to 2.5% of avg. US individual
carbon footprint)

18. Energy Efficient Display Are Where Green Devices Begin
Key Facts:
Research Whitepaper Commissioned by QMT, Authored by Pike
Research, a Cleantech Market Intelligence Firm
Energy Analysis Results:
33.7% less energy on the handset - 1/10th to 1/100th consumption of an LCD
51% more battery life and usage time
Based on a simple lifecycle analysis, global adoption could result in:
94% less CO2 equivalents emitted from the display use
58 fewer recharge cycles per year per handset
1.25 yr. average extension on life of Lithium Ion battery
33% extension of battery lifetime would yield:
12,000 fewer tons of Lithium Ion batteries into landfills per year
$12 billion savings in battery replacement costs for consumers

19. Consumers Make Decisions Based on Efficiency
Thinking about the product itself, which of the following attributes, if any, should a consumer
electronics product have for you to consider it environmentally friendly or “green” ?

23. Where are We Headed? Ereader Devices
• Existing ereaders are a head fake:
Smartphones/converged devices
• New category in Consumer Electronics next
to TVs, Notebooks, and Cell Phones
• Rebirth of Tablet PCs?
• Potential to transcend all generations
• Represents the last analog to digital
transition

26. Summary
• Display challenge is to provide an enhanced user experience for media – print though
video
• Convergence is happening to ereaders – just like
mobile phones and will drive compromises
• Publishers need to understand and help push
technology that is consistent with the print
experience and model.
• Color, video, low power and sunlight viewability
are critical to the print and digital experience
