Pixel Qi partners with Chunghwa Picture Tubes to manufacture new transflective LCD models

The characteristic most often associated with Pixel Qi screens — aside from their prized daylight-readable quality — up to this point has been scarcity . Hoping to correct that supply shortage, Mary Lou Jepsen’s team has today announced a partnership with Taiwanese manufacturer Chunghwa Picture Tubes to, well, produce some picture tubes. Apparently, “the teams have been working together quietly all fall” and now they’re ready to make things official, while also announcing that three new panels will be coming to market at various points during 2011. The first of those, a 7-inch screen with a 1024 x 600 resolution, is set to make its debut at CES 2011 in early January, with mass production coming in the second quarter of the year.
