Is there any market for low power displays left for Mirasol?

If Q can get the costs comparable to LCD's, Mirasol should own the market for secondary displays as well as any devices where sunlight readability is critical. With the bistable nature of Mirasol, I can even imagine the displays creating brand new markets.

However, for the main display on most handsets, display quality is as important as power consumption. The few statistics that Qualcomm has given lead me to believe that Mirasol's display quality doesnt match either LCD's or OLED's. With video becoming more and more popular on handsets, I have a hard time believing that the industry will move towards a lower quality display...no matter how large the power savings.
