Eco Factor: Energy-efficient LCD from LG.

With CES 2009 just a couple of weeks away, companies have already started boasting about their new products that might steal the show for them. Earlier we discussed Energizer’s solar battery charger and now we have LG with a sunlight illuminated 14.1-inch LCD screen, developed specifically for all light conditions.

The LCD screen can shift from transmissive to reflective mode at the touch of a button, which allows the screen to use sunlight to illuminate itself. This technology not only allows a potential user to get a clear view of what’s going on in the computer in broad daylight, but also reduces the system’s power consumption by as much as 75%.

The Dark Side:

The power consumption will only be reduced if the system is being used in broad daylight. The stats will however remain unaltered during indoor use and office use.
