"HP says that the technology improves upon today's widely used displays, which offer 24-bit color, making 16.7 million colors available per pixel.

"HP's product won't be ready until later this summer, and while it has been initially targeted at workstations, its display technology "can be used on any myriad of systems today," said Wood. He said plans call for making this display technology available across a range of consumer and business products."
