Iridescent display - the display technology for the future

A new hope for the people like me - whose phone's battery always drains whenever an important call has to be made and there is no way to charge.
 
Here, the Qualcomm's Mirasol display comes to the rescue. 
 
It is based on a reflective technology called IMOD (Interferometric MODulation), inspired by the wings of a butterfly. The displays using this technology are extremely efficient because they don’t emit light—they reflect it. It uses microscopic machines (MEMS) to actually manipulate the size of the air gap, to create a color display. Depending on the size of the gap, white light is reflected back as red, green, or blue.

Recently, AppleInsider says "Apple has taken over Qualcomm's IMOD Mirasol display lab in Taiwan".
