BOE Hydis“South Korea-based TFT-LCD maker BOE Hydis stated it has developed new LCD screens for notebooks and tablet PCs, which feature improved outdoor readability.” – News release published in DigiTimes.

The TeleRead take: Easier viewing outside has been one of the arguments for E Ink. It will be interesting to see how well the new LCD technology handles sunlight. Meanwhile power consumption is supposed to be 40 percent lower than otherwise—something that might be still more important to many users.
