Qualcomm's Mirasol e-reader: Nature-Inspired Reflective Technology

Similar to human eyes or the wings of butterflies, the Marisol uses only incoming light reflections to generate colors. As a result, no backlight source is needed to display colors, as opposed to the screens of today's computers, televisions and phones. Illumination is one of the largest components of the typical energy drain in today's backlit displays which makes the Marisol a huge energy saver.
