		<description><![CDATA[This week two new demo videos hit the web showcasing Qualcomm's Mirasol technology, which can display full motion and color with less energy than E Ink screens.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://kindlerama.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/021710-qualcomm-mirasol.jpg" alt="" title="021710-qualcomm-mirasol" width="480" height="334" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1023" /></p>
<p>Qualcomm&#8217;s new color screen technology that it first revealed <a href="http://kindlerama.com/could-this-display-lead-to-a-full-color-kindle-in-the-future">back in January</a>&#8211;imagine the Kindle&#8217;s E Ink screen but higher resolution, in full color and with full motion&#8211;has popped up again this week in a couple of new demo videos. </p>
<p>The Mirasol screen requires even less power than an E Ink screen, but like E Ink it can be read clearly in bright light (outside, for example). It works similar to how a butterfly&#8217;s iridescent wings display different colors depending on the angle of light. </p>
<p>Qualcomm says the screen will be used in an ereader device hitting the market this fall, but won&#8217;t say anything else. Would you be willing to upgrade to a new Kindle model if it could handle full-motion color video, high resolution photos and illustrations, and had a longer battery life? </p>
<p>Below are the two demo videos.</p>
