Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal: Electronic controlled color filter

This technology can switch the color within 100ns. If replace the current on-sensor  color filter, it has the potential to take color pictures with 4X resolution, or, a true monochome. 

It is a LCD, with color changing capability by the controled electronic. It does not need to have pixel structure. It can be plain uniform that the whole frame changing color at the same time. With 100ns response time, a colored picture would be taken by three exposures (or whatever, depends on the color seperation algorithm). The max shutter speed in color mode would be limited to 1/3000 second, or 1/10000 second in monocrhome mode.

Sounds interesting. Can you give us a link to more reading?

Not much that I know for public yet. Try google?
