a figure that is currently not yet been announced, Amazon , the giant e-commerce has made the acquisition Liquavista , a team that until a few hours ago belonged to Samsung and is known especially for developed a technology for color screens having the same quality of electronic ink .

confirm the acquisition was Amazon itself through publication, which took place during the last few hours of an official note.

Into The note points out the fact that Amazon is constantly looking for new technologies to incorporate long-term in their products and that the team Liquavista shares the same passion to Jeff Bezos for creating amazing new technologies that have great potential.

With this acquisition Into Amazon could then exploit the technology of Liquavista, known as electrowetting , to revolutionize their eBook reader and the entire segment thanks to the placing on the market of a Kindle Color , a device which by convention can be called Kindle Color .

Into The tencologia that Amazon will certainly make the best possible not helpful to Samsung, which owns the team Liquavista since 2011.

Into The South Korean has chosen to focus on the segment of smartphones and tablet on that of dropping one of the readers of digital books.

In any case it is already in May of last year that we speak of the possible development, by Amazon, a device of this type characterized by the presence of a display can provide performance similar to LCD but with the many advantages that may arise in e-ink effect.

Amazon buys Liquavista, will make a Kindle Color? - Gadgetblog (Blog)

Amazon has tried without much success to conceal a “small” transaction with Samsung . The two technology giants have “passed” Liquavista , a company and a cutting edge technology useless for the Koreans but definitely perfect for the super store online.

Liquavista, color e-reader in the near future

Into The success of Samsung is based on the beautiful display of its technological masterpieces, whether it be that of the smartphone tablet. The technology of Liquavista, purchased years ago when batteries were much less powerful, is not able to be compared even remotely to an AMOLED.

Into Liquavista makes LCD color screens, but they are much more similar to ‘e-ink that the full HD beasts that we see on the top of the range Android. In return they are much cheaper to build and consume much less battery. Samsung was not taking advantage of them, however Amazon can leave behind while beautiful and useful Kindle Paperwhite and start thinking about an e-reader with a color screen much more responsive and powerful, capable of displaying different media without shutting down after a few hours of ‘use.

stealth maneuvers

Into So far I have talked about the near future, but in reality we do not know when Amazon will revolutionize your e-reader (can we still say, as you will be able to play movies?).

Into For the moment there is not even a prototype and I can deduce that Amazon itself does not know exactly when it will be able to change the cards on the table. The corporation tried to buy Liquavista without noise, using bogus companies nominee – The plan was not successful and was caught almost immediately, mind you, but all this shows a certain insecurity by Amazon. We’ll have to be patient.
