Lou Jepsen officially left OLPC two weeks ago with the aim of commercializing the technology that she had invented with her colleagues at the project. It is a screen technology that automatically adjusts operation under low power supply conditions.

Ms. Jepsen's company will continue to work with OLPC. However, OLPC will now pay a fee if you want to use Pixel Qi's product. In addition, the company will also sell products to other commercial organizations.
