    Reflective displays have good visual qualities in outdoor applications. But most advertising applications now still seem to be indoor. Outdoor apps are available but still are glass based. The process is lagging behind expectations and earlier prognoses big time...

    What technologies / brands will be available in outdoor versions? When is Pixel QI shipping? Is Sipix still working on this?

    Good question. I'd like to know the same.

    I don't really understand the question to be honest - in principle all technologies would work outdoors, they just haven't done it yet. Some of the technologies lik E-Inks find it hard to make larger displays as they have high drop out of pixels and Sipix find it hard to fill cells properly.

    Also remember that the displays are expensive for larger areas and outdoors unless they are backlit type displays or have incident light forced on them will be redundant in the dark. You could end up with an expensive wall in most cases.
