Qualcom gained this technology when they acquired Iridigm. Searching the LCD/Display forums, I see that nmbenson mentioned this technology back in early 2006 when FPD was heavily involved in the forum.

The information above is dated 2007. Here's a few more links that show both color and monochrome displays.

This technology is very impressive. I wonder when it will finally trickle down into our domain? 5-10 years?
