Home > About Liquavista
Liquavista was founded in 2006 to develop products using its patented HEOS display technology. Based on a decade of work done inside Philips Research Labs, the Electrowetting effect that underpins HEOS devices is a radical, yet simple way of producing high value displays for mobile device display screens.
Electrowetting has the same range and ability to show videos and full colour images as current LCD screens, while also addressing two main problems inherent in today’s displays: poor readability in bright lighting conditions and high power consumption that drains batteries quickly.
Liquavista’s electro-wetting displays (EWDs) are reflective rather than transmissive and so offer the potential for clear viewing in all lighting conditions, from a dimly lit office environment to the bright light of a sunny day, while consuming a tenth of the power of similar sized LCD screens. The opportunity for a new display technology that addresses these problems is huge, with today’s global market for mobile displays at €16 billion and for LCD displays at over €62 billion.
Liquavista is actively developing the first generation of HEOS devices– ColorMatch, offering world-beating brightness, which are expected to reach market in 2007, with a reflective performance of more than 50% over an unlimited viewing angle.
Our business model is based on developing a network of partnerships and relationships with supply chain partners and OEMs who will be customers. Our product roadmap incorporates a wide variety of portable products such as MP3 players, watches, cameras, phones, DVD players and automotive applications, where each of our technology platforms brings feature innovation which is currently missing from other technology offers.
We are based in Europe and the Far East.
