Let's see if any of you can tell me how much sense the explanation of the technology is:

Works by integrating an optical fiber system that display image between two glass parts. There are 12 micro lighter fibers, that throw image components to the glass, that offer a quite good luminosity, and keep the mobile phone concept as light as possible. All lights only appear when you open the phone, by pushing removable part on the side of it.
Maybe I've missed all the other phones that are powered by micro lighter fibers, but this seems a bit too made up for my liking. But hey, shiny things! Isn't that what fashion is all about? I'll take three! [Tuvie via New Launches]
