Pixel QI bows out of business (Android Community)
Pixel QI is one of the more reliable manufacturers of screen displays in the market although it’s not as popular. The company was put up back in 2008 but its founders, couple Mary Lou Jepson and John, decided to leave to join Google X. Because of their move, no one was left to manage Pixel Qi. And so as expected, the company is now out of business. This means no more Pixel Qi display will be manufactured for future use.

"I’m a journalist, a teacher and an e-book fiend. I work as a French teacher at a K-3 private school. I use drama, music, puppets, props and all manner of tech in my job, and I love it. I enjoy moving between all the classes and having a relationship with each child in the school. Kids are hilarious, and I enjoy watching them grow and learn. My current device of choice for reading is my Amazon Kindle Touch, but I have owned or used devices by Sony, Kobo, Aluratek and others. I also read on my tablet devices using the Kindle app, and I enjoy synching between them, so that I’m always up to date no matter where I am or what I have with me."
