Solar power to run Pixel Qi’s new HDTVs

When a company decides to make every child computer literate with a unique scheme like OLPC (One Laptop per Child), they seem to have their hearts at the right place. Pixel Qi is back in action and this time they are developing an HDTV that will run on batteries powered by the sun! The sub-10 watt HDTV has been created keeping in mind places where electricity supply is either unstable or scarce.

The HDTV has been priced at $100; however there is no word as to when it will be available for purchase. Meanwhile, another product from the company called the epaper screen has been awarded the “Best of Computex” Award from Laptop Magazine at Computex 2009. The company is planning to start the production process for the epaper screens from next month onwards.
