LED-backlighting with laptops in 2006

LED backlight first appeared in the news when we reported about the first LED-LCD monitor on the market. The pros with the LED-technology for backlighing an LCD-panel are many and the technology is actually already used with a number of laptops. Now they are expecting a breakthrough for LED-backlighting during the second quarter of 2006 as several 12″ and 14″ notebooks will be launched with LED-backlighting instead for CCFL. How much of a difference there will be remains to see, but when the LED-technology has matured there are several advantages such as thinner panels, lower power consumption and no toxic substances is used in the making of LED-backlighting.
