A high-end laptop LED tide thunder surpass Centrino four

[IT168 market analysis] the development of notebook technology is not only the development of processors, mobile platforms. Lighter, thinner, faster, longer life time, which can meet the requirements of these technologies, the notebook is the most urgent need. So, despite the recent generation of Centrino four becoming the most popular, but the rise in the high-end machine LED screen, light wave is still bring exciting changes.

The rise of high-end light wind machine

LED light-emitting diode Light Emitting Diode abbreviation, is a semiconductor component. The LCD screen with LED as the backlight source can save electricity, prolong life and be thinner than the traditional CCFL backlight LCD screen. Pay attention to the laptop life of the business machine, the use of LED screen has countless benefits. But LED backlit LCD screen price is high, before only applied in SONY TX, ASUS U1F, Fujitsu P7230 and other small size of the aristocracy models. But as the four generation of Centrino models released by LED, the high-end machine screen models is as the spring breeze comes suddenly, in each big brand.

In light of the high demand for electricity business models. Fujitsu launched the S6410 on the LED screen. The whole screen is only 6 mm thick. Although the four generation of Centrino platform makes the body weight increased, but rely on LED thin the miracle control in 1.6 kilograms, but less than S6311 using CCFL LCD screen of the previous generation. HP recently released business 2210b/2510p also uses a LED LCD screen. Especially 2510p, as the most powerful HP 12 inch small screen notebook business, not only has high security configuration, commercial aluminum magnesium alloy frame, fingerprint recognition technology and hard disk protection system, but also the control of 1.29 kg. In the small screen business machine.

In the ultra small screen models, the LED is still strong. Such as ASUS recently released U3 notebook and Sonice listed VAIO TZ13, using 11.1 inches LED widescreen.

The LED wave of the screen, and in the past quite different, the LED screen is not only a big increase in the high-end machine, and reached a price sensitive consumer market. More typical is the DELL XPS series of new machine M1330. This machine is high version uses a 13.3 inch Widescreen LED.

However, although the recent use of LED screen models frequent appearances, but also to see, for a variety of reasons, even the lowest price of the LED models, but also more than 10000 yuan. And more than 12 inches in the ultra portable models. LED distance from five thousand yuan to eight thousand yuan in the mainstream market is still far away.

LED notebook will have a growth

LED is currently limited to high-end machines and small screen machine market, this situation and some of the limitations of the LED itself is very relevant.

As we all know, LED screen has the advantages of electricity saving, thin, long life. But there are also some deficiencies. Such as LED screen light-emitting efficiency is low, the brightness is lower than the CCFL backlight, there are deficiencies in the color saturation. But the most important thing is cost. The LED panel production cost compared with the traditional LCD panel is 20%-30%, and the LCD panel plant is not all production line to the LED panel to. Especially notebook overall prices in recent years, lower manufacturing costs, compression has become the most important compulsory course for notebook manufacturers. In such a fierce market competition under the guidance of the price, to promote the use of LED screen there is the cost of the problem, so only in the high-end models using LED.

LED thinner than CCFL backlight

According to DIGITIMES reports, panel manufacturers said, 10 inches and smaller LCD panel products have nearly 100% of the products using the LED backlight. LED backlight will continue to be used on the 13 inch level and smaller notebook display. 13-14 inches mainstream screen is now close to 20% or so using LED, and more than 15 inches large screen due to cost constraints, the current use of LED screen is still relatively small. This situation and the high price of LED and the advantages of large screen models are not obvious.

But with the progress of information technology, and the advent of Vista (Vista high, the performance of processor power consumption and pull joint, double screen applications), how to maintain the notebook battery life has become one of the essential work of notebook computer manufacturers. So this year, the application of LED backlight has an urgent need. At the beginning of the year, CMO, AUO, Samsung, PHILPS and other LG panel manufacturers have said that this year will launch a 12.1 inch Widescreen LED panel, 13.1 inch to 13.3 inches. Apple, HP, DELL and other notebook computer manufacturers also said that the first half of this year will be used in the LED panel on their own high-end thin notebook. So, there will be the current situation of LED screen notebook hundred flowers bloom. Moreover, with the promotion of major manufacturers, LED some inherent weaknesses are beginning to correct.

As the most important price problem. This problem is the biggest stumbling block hindering the promotion of LED. Before the high price in addition to technical problems, there is a key to the LCD panel production plant is not the main production capacity to turn to the LED screen manufacturing production, resulting in high unit fixed costs, but
