Microsoft Engineers Invent Displays That Top LCDs For Efficiency
MechEMark writes with this excerpt from a hope-inspiring article at the IEEE Spectrum, which says "Researchers from Microsoft say they've built a prototype of a display screen using a technology that essentially mimics the optics in a telescope but at the scale of individual display pixels. The result is a display that is faster and more energy efficient than a liquid crystal display, or LCD, according to research reported yesterday in Nature Photonics ... The design greatly increases the amount of backlight that reaches the screen. The researchers were able to get about 36 percent of the backlight out of a pixel, more than three times as much light as an LCD can deliver. But Microsoft senior research engineer Michael Sinclair says that through design improvements, he expects that number to go up — theoretically, as high as 75 percent."
Or a red ring of fire... We all know how reliable Microsoft Hardware is!
You guys should simply be ashamed of yourself.
If ANY other company than M$ had invented this, you'd be having an intersting discussion about it.
If someone involved with linux or open source had invented it, you'd all be gushing.
Instead you see how many assinine jokes you can come up with - actually it was most of you commenting on the same one wannabe rather than even coming up with something of your own.
What a bunch of losers. Get your heads out of yours collective asses.
Kudos to the TWO people that actually posted something worth reading. This site is becoming more and more worthless everytday. If I wanted jokes about everything, I'd subscribe to a mailing list.
