Sharp is looking to get a jump on the second-half-of-the-year market for televisions by announcing its new Aquos LED televisions, a new series of LCD HDTVs that take Sharp’s existing Aquos LCD technology and pair it with energy-saving full-array LED backlighting for improved image quality and utility-friendly performance. And the Aquos LED series also introduce Aquos Net, a new service that enables owners to tap into Web-based content, as well as contact Sharp customer service.
It’s a battle that will rage until at least 2010: Samsung and Sony have made a big splash at this year’s CES with new LED displays that could spell the eventual doom of plasma, DLP, and LCD technology.
While LED-backlit displays started as a premium feature designed to stretch battery life on high-end ultraportable notebooks like Toshiba’s Portege, Dell pledged on Wednesday to take the technology mainstream by transitioning all of its new notebooks to LED displays in the next 12 months. While the switch will undoubted promise performance benefits for users, Dell has primarily positioned the switch as an environmental move.
According to Dell, LED backlights not only consume 43 percent less power (at the same brightness) than traditional cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL) usually used in notebook displays, they’re also more recyclable and completely free of mercury.
Quote from I4U.com:
“Korean Vandisori MP3 Player features a flashy 64 LED Graphical Equalizer.
The meaning of the name Vandisori is composed of Vandi (lighting bug in Korean) and Sori (sound in Korean).
Why is it cool? The Vandisor Web-Site states:
“The 64 LED lights spectrum makes illusion of dance of lighting bug. You will be the star because of Vandisori when you put Vandisori on during inline skating, skiing, snowboarding and extra extreme sports.”
The MP3 Player also features a LED flashlight.”
