While the new third-generation iPad’s high resolution, densely packed Retina Display is garnering a lot of accolades for the clarity it delivers, there are some who are not pleased with the power consumption of the Retina Display screen and the heat it generates. One of those displeased is Pixel Qi, a company who makes a color [...]
Remember Pixel Qi? The makers of that very cool transflective 3Qi display that allowed for full color in LCD mode and an outdoor readable gray-scale screen might have just gotten a big leg up. The Notion Ink Adam was the device that seemed to carry Pixel Qi’s flag but it certainly hasn’t become a big seller. [...]
Speaking with Light Reading India, CEO of Notion Ink, Rohan Shravan made it known that the company is looking to the launch the next version of their Android-based Adam tablet in December, in time to show off at the next CES.
Pixel Qi, makers of a screen technology that can be considered a good mix of the best of LCD (color) and e-ink (outdoors visibility, energy saving) features, is looking to invade more tablets beyond its popular release on the Notion Ink Adam Android tablet. The company is working with ZTE to re-release the ZTE Light, [...]
Inspiron41 posted a YouTube video comparing the Notion Ink Adam and the Motorola Xoom Tablets. Both have 10 inch screens and both run Nvidia’s Tegra 2 chipset. But the similarities end about there.

We’ve heard of Pixel Qi’s displays in the past, and the screen is being used on the Adam tablet by Notion Ink. Another application for displays that offer sunlight readability would be for netbooks for those who either work in the field or would rather do their computing in an outdoors space such as a [...]
Notion Ink’s Android-powered Adam tablet is almost here, and despite running on Google’s Android 2.2 Froyo operating system which Google says is made for smartphones rather than tablets, the 10-inch tablet with its low-power, sunlight-visible Pixel Qi display will come pre-loaded with 20 apps that are said to be tablet-ready. Like rival Samsung, which had [...]

Comforting news about the Notion Ink Adam tablet trickled out today as LongBox Inc. announced their digital comic book system will be pre-installed on the Adam as part of its entertainment package.
While we wait (and wait and wait) for devices like the Notion Ink Adam to ship with Pixel Qi displays, LCDs that are readable with or without backlighting, the company is moving forward with their own plans to offer their displays as add-on solutions, including a secondary display that can run entirely on USB.
Pixel Qi remains one of those companies that we all want to hear more about.

Last week we heard from Notion Ink, one of the companies [...]
As they continue the endless march toward the release of their Adam tablet, Notion Ink has posted a well-explained article about the Adam’s design. Among other things, they extol the virtues of its wedge shape. Sounds familiar.
The Notion Ink Adam, a much-anticipated tablet due to its Pixel Qi display, has received a brief progress update. The news is welcomed but still raises red flags for me.
Slashgear, which has become the defacto media outlet for Notion Ink, reports that the long-awaited, many-faced Adam tablet will be priced from $399 to $498, depending on model, and has picked up several enhancements. Great news if it ever gets released.
Our friend Joanna Stern installed a Pixel Qi 3Qi display on her Lenovo IdeaPad S10-2 and the results look pretty good.

Outdoor transflective displays have been available on [...]

Tablet mania is all the rage as we anticipate tablets from just about every quarter. This of course doesn’t mean that every tablet or purported tablet or mythical tablet that does make it to market will be a success or have a successful launch. SlashGear is pointing us to a Tablet from Notion Ink that [...]
Pixel Qi (the Qi is pronounced chee) is getting ready to see its screens hit the market in what they are calling “specialized tablets” with multi-touch. The screen technology provides both a color LCD and an eInk view that makes it readable in direct sunlight. Now word yet on what devices these will be unveiled [...]
One of the most frustrating things about being mobile is the lack of a decent outdoor viewable screen. Even in a classroom environment, the overhead banks of fluorescent lights often make glare an issue. The solution is to have a matte screen to minimize the glare reflected back. Unfortunately, I’ve found that matte screens are [...]
