Mary Lou Jepsen working on ultra efficient laptops

Mary Lou Jepsen was once the head of the Intel’s display division and chief technology officer at One Laptop Per Child (OLPC).

She is now working at her new start-up company which is developing new generation of laptop models which are ultra efficient.

She said in a statement: “At Pixel Qi, we have a new series of inventions that go well beyond the OLPC screen that we are developing right now.”

The company has already opened offices in Taipei and San Francisco.

One of the products they are working on is a new form of electronic paper that can offer both color and video.

The aim is to develop laptops which can operate for as long as 40 hours without requiring a recharge.

Jepsen added: “We are working with a number of notebook and e-book makers on a number of different form factors. We can enable an increase of 5-10X battery life between charges compared with a standard notebook. This means that rather than needing to recharge your batteries every few hours, you could run 20-40 hours of use on a one charge.”
