Cool new LCD tech from Sharp

[mikeselectricstuff]

Just got some of these really cool Memory LCDs from Sharp
Insanely low power cosumption and amazing contrast.
A bit like E-Ink but available, and faster

interesting LCD design,  screen updating speed, and operating temperature limits,
needs some extra exploration.

Thanks for the great video, Mike. What boards are you using to drive the displays?

[gregariz]

Thanks Mike,

Would you be able to say how viewing compares in sunlight?

[EEVblog]

Yes, they are cool.
I've got one earmarked for use in my new µWatch2 project.
See an upcoming issue of EEweb's Pulse magazine.

They are very visible in all lighting condas & when I see some sunlight it would be interesting to see if the silver one would actually reflect an image of the display onto a surface...

The small one I'm looking at using is marked as transflective, so I'm assuming it can be backlit?
