Qualcomm's whipped out some
flipping great wadges of cash in order to snap up
Pixtronix for its PerfectLight MEMS-based display tech. It reportedly cost between $175 - $200 million and is expected to be merged into the company's super-low power
Mirasol-based displays. Compared to the
Kyobo eReader we played with at
CES, PerfectLight has a wider viewing angle (170 degree), supports full speed video playback and much better RGB modulation. Depending on how successful the marriage is, it could spell the end of the final hurdles that have hampered the widespread adoption of the technology.
