The U.S. based brands Apple and HP are expected to launch laptop computers with LED backlight based screens starting from the second quarter of 2007, Digi Times reports.
HP’s new LED-based notebooks will feature Microsoft’s Vista operating system (OS) and will aim at high-end, multimedia uses, the sources said, adding that using LEDs as the backlight source for large-size applications will become more popular thanks to more models of such kind from US-based notebook brands.
“LED (Light-emitting diode) backlighting allows for the LCD display to be slimmer and consumes less power compared to conventional Cold Cathode Fluorescent Light (CCFL) backlighting found in most modern laptop displays. Even though white LEDs are built inside the bottom edges of the LCD panel, the entire screen is evenly lit. LED is also responsible in delivering more realistic red and green colors so images appear truer,” Laptop Logic explains.
