About Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc. 
Qualcomm MEMS Technologies Inc. has drawn on the same color-producing process that makes a butterfly's wings shimmer to develop the revolutionary mirasol display technology. The mirasol display is the industry's first to use interferometric modulation (IMOD); a micro-electro-mechanical systems-based technology capable of creating color from ambient reflected light. Qualcomm's mirasol displays are bi-stable, energy efficient, offer refresh rates to support interactive content and are highly reflective, allowing for superb viewing quality in a wide range of environmental conditions, including bright sunlight. With applications in a variety of mobile devices, mirasol displays support Qualcomm's overall strategy of mobile innovation by enabling a compelling viewing experience with significantly less power.
