New LED Backlights For LCD Screens

Posted by timothy on from the you-can-never-have-too-many dept.

Benefits include longer battery life for notebooks, less weight, and a larger color gamut (up to 130% of the NTSC standard). The release can be found here." I wish I could hook up one of their evaluation kits to my machine right now;) The same site has quite a lot of LED-related information throughout.

    ". The shade of red lipstick you purchased on the Internet and viewed on your LCD monitor will be the exact color red you receive in the mail. "

    That's great. Exactly who is this press release for, anyway?

    I have one of those blue LED key chainlights you can get at ThinkGeek.com. My friends and I have a new favorite saying:

    DO NOT STARE INTO LASER WITH REMAINING EYE!
