LG Releasing Sunlight-Illuminated LCD Display
Next month’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is shaping up to be an interesting event. A few days ago, we reported that Energizer plans on debuting its solar-powered battery charger at the show. Now LG has announced the CES debut of its sunlight-illuminated 14.1 inch LCD notebook panel.
Chip in a few dollars a month to help support independent cleantech coverage that helps to accelerate the cleantech revolution!
LG’s panel features an adaptive backlight that switches from transmissive to transreflective mode with the click of a button. The panel’s transreflective display— made for outdoor use— reflects sunlight to illuminate itself from the inside.
The company says that its transreflective mode provides a clear view of the screen display (the contrast ratio is 9:1)—and reduces power consumption by up to 75%.
Transreflective panels aren’t new, but LG’s product is the first to provide the option to easily switch back and forth between display modes.
