mirasol™ Displays – A Qualcomm Innovation Inspired by Nature

A butterfly’s shimmering wings. A peacocks iridescent plumage. These are some of mother nature’s most beautiful color displays. Now, Qualcomm brings that same power to the next generation of mobile displays with mirasol™ display technology.

By studying and mimicking nature’s processes and structures – a field of study called biomimetics – Qualcomm engineers have developed the nature- inspired mirasol display solution. Examples of biomimetics at work can be observed in everyday life
