Steam-driven computers remain in the realm of science fiction. Mechanical pixels, however, are beginning to see the light of day. Pixels are the dots, or "picture elements" that make up the picture on a display screen. And one way of making them change colour is to use what are known as micro-electromechanical systems, or MEMS, to move part of each pixel around, creating iridescent interference patterns in the process. According to Wallen Mphepo of National Chiao Tung University in Hsinchu, Taiwan, who is one of those working on this idea, screens made this way should be as easy on the eye in bright sunlight as the reflective "electronic paper" used in devices such as the Kindle. They would also use far less power than today's liquid-crystal displays. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
