My comment:
(a) 桃園縣龍潭鄉
It sppears that Hsinchu Science Park has many campuses.
新竹科學工業園區
http://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E6%96%B0%E7%AB%B9%E7%A7%91%E5%AD%B8%E5%B7%A5%E6%A5%AD%E5%9C%92%E5%8D%80
(b) El mirasol is a masculin noun in Spanish.
"Mirasol, the spanish name for sunflower, means 'looking at the sun.'”
(c) I went to the official website:
www.mirasoldisplay.com
, which however did not help me to understand the mechanism.
(d) The physics of Marasol display:
Interferometric Modulator (IMOD) Technology Overview. Qualcomm, May 2008 (
whitepaper).
http://www.qualcomm.com/common/documents/white_papers/QMT_Technology_Overview_12-07.pdf
You may want to start by taking a look at Figure 1 at page 5 (page number is
at the bottom of each page). Each "cavity" can be either on or off, thus "
bistable" (the heading in page 3).
bistable
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bistable
(may refer to "bistability in physics; something that can rest in two states
")
At page 5, please take notice the last two sentences, so as to understand
how a cavity--and therefore the whole screen, for it is useless to produce
ONE cavity of black--produce black color; as well as how full color is
generated ("A full-color display is assembled by specially ordering IMOD
elements [cavities, that is] reflecting in red, green and blue wavelengths")
Then you may read the text starting with the heading "Reflective Display (
Continuous Refresh Type)" (at page 2) whose last sentence is: "So far, most
portable devices employing reflective displays are the continuous refresh
type."
Read till the end. Take notice of
(i) "Speed" at page 9, and
(ii) "Robustness" at page 11 (comparing this technology with LCD).
(e) Why is a butterfly the logo of Mirasol Display?
Evan Acerman, Butterfly Displays Offer Vivid Color, Long Battery Life. Oh
Gizmo, Feb. 19, 2010.
http://www.ohgizmo.com/2010/02/19/butterfly-displays-offer-vivid-color-long-battery-life/
(f) Brian Dipert, Display-Technology Advancements: Change Is the Only
Constant. Conventional LCDs’ industry dominance might seem insurmountable,
but, not too long ago, people were saying the same thing about CRTs. Upstart
revolutionary alternatives aspire to ascend to the throne, but LCDs intend
to retain the crown. EDN, Dec. 15, 2010.
http://www.edn.com/article/511833-Display_technology_advancements_Change_is_the_only_constant.php
EDN is acronym for Electronics Design, Strategy, News.
Please read
(i) paragraph 4 from the bottom, about OLPC; and
(ii) the last three paragraphs, about Mirasol. Then you will learn the joint
venture produces monochrome, and that panel of the new fab (by Qualcomm's
wholy-owned subsidiary; no more joint venture) will be color.

你可以选择邮寄或者自取，不过都要出50元。我家在上海的，当时不知道，以为自取就
不用交50元了，没想到自己去邮局拿，还是要缴50元，真是肯人啊。
