With the EU RoHs environmental protection standard, led by the United States Environmental Protection Agency EPEAT certification, in 2006 the new green procurement standard, mainly for the US government and private organizations to make large purchases of the standard requirements, products with the ratio of energy star (Energy Star) environmental protection certification requirements higher, including the reduction of environmentally sensitive materials, products life cycle, energy saving, environmental protection packaging, waste disposal and so on.

At present, the United States HP (HP), DELL (Dell) and apple (Apple) have been certified by EPEAT, Taiwan plant is a Acer (Acer) is working hard to promote, through certification, improve visibility in the U.S. market.

The EPEAT specification includes desktop computer, notebook computer and computer screen (monitor), use panel panel and monitor in NB, using LED back light help through this kind of environmental certification, the LED backlight penetration of heating effect.

Apart from the relatively expensive price of the apple Macbook Pro, at 14.1 inches above the most mainstream NB price parity, the use of LED backlight is not currently do, but to wait for the LED backlight module in the application of larger size panel maturity, price improvement, will import.

It is understood that the product development has light source manufacturers LED back 14.1 inches above the parity of the mainstream NB, believe that after a period of time, the general consensus is to use the LED NB backlight will be comprehensive, which is more helpful for LED products for export
