Eindhoven based Liquavista, a spin-out from Dutch electronics giant Philips, has developed and patented an innovative electro-wetting technology for use in electronic display screens. Its unique IP allows it to create full colour, 'paper-like' displays, capable of displaying video, while consuming less than one third the power of a traditional LCD. Liquavista's technology has the potential to address all the display markets currently dominated by LCDs, including mobile and fixed applications. Today it is targeting the fast growing e-reader market.
In 2006, seeing the immense global potential for the technology, Amadeus led a €12 million Series ‘A’ financing round in the company and continued to support the company over the next four years as it innovated and commercialised its product. With the growing excitement around the technology, Samsung Electronics Co, Ltd acquired the company at the end of 2010.
