Photos: Displays of the future

At the Society for Information Display conference taking place in San Francisco this week, researchers from Philips, Liquavista, Samsung and others have gathered to discuss the latest display trends coming out of their labs.

This small screen -- about 50 by 50mm -- from Liquavista can display clock faces, videos and games and can show things in greyscale or colour. The screens consume far less power than standard LCD displays, according to CEO Mark Gostick. The Philips spinoff will first sell its technology to the watch industry. "There is no intrinsic barrier to size. In five years, you could see this in laptops," he said.
