Apple and rival Hewlett-Packard look to be planning to introduce LED-backlit displays on their laptop computer products according to a report on DigiTimes.
The LED-backlit systems would improve the image quality of the LCD screens used in the laptops and provide more even lighting as well as improve the overall color range on the screen. The idea of LED-backlit laptop displays has been approached with a certain degree of caution due to higher power requirements in the past, but could represent the companies focusing on media-centric strengths.
The article’s cited source refused to to discuss the exact models that would receive the new displays but mentioned that part manufacturers Cree and Nichia would be the main suppliers for the necessary components.
