Thanks to a technology similar to butterfly wings, the display for handheld devices can be more energy efficient. Even more efficient than e-ink technology available today. Technology called Mirasol that mimic the workings of butterfly wings in a display color, by reflected light.

Technology has been introduced by Qualcomm. Thanks to technology, 'the butterfly', the Mirasol screen does not require light from behind (backlight) to strengthen the screen like most LCD. This makes them more energy efficient.

In fact, Qualcomm Mirasol dare to claim more energy efficient than e-Ink technology used on the Kindle gadget from Amazon. In the same use, E-Ink last 7.3 days on a single battery charge while Mirasol able to transcend them to 8.6 days.

Mirasol-based gadget plans would be presented before the end of 2010. No news in more detail about the plan, but Qualcomm has been showing off prototypes of gadgets that use screen-based Mirasol.
