Lite-On show off the LCD which is only 1cm thick @ LED Lighting Taiwan 2009 Expo. The package is called 50/30, and the small units are 5.6mm wide and 3mm high, and has 228 LED’s to make the whole backlight. This means that there is a drastic drop in the power consumption to between 120-200W giving roughly 40% power savings. This LED screen is already in mass production to be included in new products. Look out for the notebooks with this nifty battery saving monitor over Christmas.

The Chi-Mei Green monitors on display are at 100-120Hz, and range in size from 42″, 47″, and 55″ for SI companies that can use them to replace the standard 60Hz monitors currently being used. CCFL backlight is the current system in use, however there is a LED backlight in development due in Q4. The LED backlight will give very good power savings. The backlight display for advertising has 1700nits and exceeds regular displays quite considerably.
