Liquavista have announced an upgrade to its LiquavistaBright technology platform; their first generation black and white platform with video capability. These improvements include a further increase in brightness, the integration of fully interactive touch-panel technology and a range of finishing which includes true paper-like appearance. Liquavista are developing three technology platforms (LiquavistaBright, LiquavistaColor and LiquavistaVivid) planned for product implementation throughout 2010/2011.
The first technology platform, LiquavistaBright, enables a smooth and fast user interface on eReader devices, thanks to the inherent video capability plus a new paper-like experience. Being able to move and scroll the content seamlessly will allow consumers to have a fully featured UI and significantly larger effective screen, enabling access to other more traditional online media such as web content and video, as well as both tabloid and broadsheet newsprint.
Devices using the LiquavistaBright display can combine the durable eBook experience, which can be found in the current eReaders, with a new multimedia experience, which is according to recent marketing research one of the most requested benefits of future eReaders.
