Liquavista Launches Display Kits to Enable Customers to Develop Application and Designs

Liquavista announced the launch of System Development Kits aimed at enabling their core customers to work on developing products based on their innovative electrowetting display technology.

Available for both LiquavistaBright 6” mono and LiquavistaColor 6” color electrowetting displays, customers will be able to create applications and therefore products that benefit from the features of Liquavista’s unique display technology.

“These new SDKs are designed to enable customers to take their Liquavista experience directly to their products,” stated Guy Demuynck, Liquavista CEO. “This enables them to try out and extend their existing products to take advantage of the our technology’s ability to enable dynamic, interactive products, capable of supporting all types of content, including multimedia applications and video capability, without compromising ultra low power usage and sunlight readability.”

“We’ve developed these SDKs to include a full driving circuitry, mobile application processor and the display to bring a complete package that reflects a typical mobile based product application,” added Eric Derckx, Liquavista’s VP engineering. “This will enable product designers to evaluate our displays in a real world environment utilizing the best of our technology with their own applications.”

“This is the continuation of our strategy to enable a revolution in product features and usability based on our electrowetting displays,” added Demuynck “Consumers will soon be able to experience what we have termed ‘LCD2.0’ for themselves and be able to buy products that have all of the natural interactivity and autonomy that consumers are currently missing.”

The System Development Kits are currently available to customers to help them drive their concept development projects and enable new product innovation. Available in two of Liquavista’s launched product platforms, LiquavistaBright and LiquavistaColor, each SDK includes a 6” electrowetting display, driving circuitry, mobile application processor host platform as well as a Linux based operating system.

Liquavista’s high performance display technology has intrinsic high-speed video capability which will vastly expand the functionality and user experience and enables the next generation of mobile devices. It plays video, allows smooth browsing and provides a true multimedia experience not currently available in low powered outdoor readable displays.

Liquavista’s electrowetting display technology has been developed to be compatible with existing display manufacturing techniques and processes. In fact, more than 90% of the manufacturing cycle uses standard LCD manufacturing equipment and processes. Called LCD 2.0, this enables our partners to quickly re-use their manufacturing assets to our displays and bring exciting, highly differentiated products to life with both enhanced usability and performance.
