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.

    Their power-saving plan works by alternating the duty cycle of their red, green, and blue LEDs at 1-65Hz. I can feel a headache coming on already.
