A major breakthrough in laptop batteries

Notebook PC Extended Battery Life-time work (EBL-WG) announced its low-power display Jihua a major breakthrough, OK Pingjunmeinian Ke shipped over 600 million units more than 3 watts power consumption Bu De low power 12.1/14.1/15.0 XGA display, expected to account for the total notebook shipments for 2004, about 12%.

From a year ago to establish the program started, the display of the average power consumption has dropped from 4.3-4.5 watts to 3 watts or less - power savings equivalent to an additional 60 minutes of laptop battery life. EBL-WG's goal is to achieve early production of 1,000 million units per year less than 3 watts of power, display, expected to account for the total notebook shipments for 2005, about 20%.

Intel's Mobile Platforms Division, Mobile Support Programme Manager and President of EBL-WG, said Kamal Shah, notebook computer display subsystem in the overall average power consumption notebook computer occupies a significant proportion. So far, the notebook of the various components and subsystems, the display subsystem consumes the most power. Shah said: "With the new low-power display technologies, display subsystem must also consume less power, thus continue to promote the overall power consumption declining mobile platform."

He said: "The consumers are demanding notebook computers with longer battery life time is increasing. If we are to achieve the ideal all-day battery life, reducing power consumption of notebook PC displays is the key to. "

EBL-WG milestone demonstrates manufacturers increasing desire to reduce platform power consumption to meet the users demand longer battery life. Recently joined the EBL-WG of several companies, including: AMD, ATI Technologies Inc, BIC, Infineon, Millennium Cell, Motorola Energy Systems Group, O2Micro, and Sion Power.

Acer Value Creation Center (Acer Value Lab) Arif Maskatia vice president, said: "We are increasingly common in the mobile lifestyle demands anytime, anywhere access to information. Through the Wi-Fi, Internet access is becoming increasingly easy and popular, we need more long battery life to provide strong support, so users can truly have a wonderful wireless experience. " and model acer aspire one have a breakthrough in battery life.

EBL-WG is extending its efforts to promote the industry to adopt its methodology for measuring battery life, this notebook will be able to evaluate different display manufacturers to provide a common reference power. The group is encouraging all display manufacturers will EBL-WG guidelines to measure the power into their product data in the table. The project will support the notebook computer manufacturer providers to fully assess the list of panel features, and by compiling all relevant data the same Dedian to simplify the verification process display.
