Using Vista boost LED notebook next year will be on the table

CNET News reported in Taipei when the power saving technology has become the main selling point of all IT products, LED notebook market with fuzheng. In including the CMO, AUO, Samsung, LG PHILPS (PHILPS LG) and other panel makers, are scheduled to launch 12.1 inch, 13.1 inch to 13.3 inch wide screen LED panel from next year; DELL, HP, the ASUS notebook computer manufacturers, said the first half of next year will be the first rate LED panel used on its own the high-end thin notebook, this year only in SONY, Fujitsu two Japanese brand notebook appeared LED aircraft, officially surfaced.

It is expected that by the end of next year, LED models are likely to stand up to 25% of the overall notebook market, said Chen Jinghong, vice president and general manager of HP Taiwan personal systems business group. This figure is far greater than the estimated 8% panel manufacturers, research institutions and the Taiwan area topology photoelectric research center is expected 8% higher. The current market penetration of LED laptop is about 3%.

Light emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, LED) is a semiconductor component. Compared to the general notebook with cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL; Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp) as the backlight, LED notebook panel thickness is about the thickness of the 1/2; energy saving, LED backlight notebook panel CCFL backlight notebook panel can save about 20% to 30% of the electricity.

LED officially became the notebook as an important power saving on the role, in June this year, Intel led the working group to extend the battery life (Extended Battery Life Working Group, EBL WG), vigorously promote the notebook computer manufacturers using LED backlit screen. The display is the largest component of the notebook's power consumption, accounting for more than 30% of the total power consumption of the system. Therefore, reducing the power consumption of the display is the necessary work to extend the battery life.

But because of the early only by Japanese manufacturers Toshiba (Toshiba), Matsushita (Matsushita) group TMD company invested notebook size LED panel, so the first out LED models only SONY launched in November last year, VAIO 26/27, and Fujitsu (Fujitsu) LifeBook Q2010, but did not reach the scale of economic capacity under the.

Expected in the next year, more and more laptop manufacturers to invest in the field of LED, the price of LED models is expected to pull down. The topology of photoelectric research center assistant researcher Cai Yizhen said. "Because it's a lightweight laptop, it will be in the higher order," said Cai Yizhen.

In addition, the advent of Microsoft's next generation operating system Vista, but also one of the increasing acceptance of LED notebook, she said. The reason is that Vista requires a higher processor performance, in the case of the United States and the United States and the United States and the high power consumption of the processor to maintain the laptop battery life has become one of the important efforts of various notebook manufacturers.
