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.
