Display developers are now concentrating on improving the LCD screen of laptops so that the existing batteries can run for longer time. With the new innovative LCD technology it is speculated that future laptops will be able to run for approximately 40 hours on a single charge. This means you won’t have to worry about carrying around extra batteries, like the Lenovo 43R1966, or even battery enhancers anymore. The new energy efficient LCDs will not be responsible for draining out most of the battery power and this will not result in a corresponding loss in display quality either. Users will still be able to enjoy high definition media and 3D gaming as well.

Mary Lou Jepson, the founder of Pixel Qi has decided to work on the new technology. According to her, the new LCDs can be easily manufactured in conventional factories and will be launched in the market next year. However the exact date is not known yet. The new LCD will have another advantage. They will also let users view the screen directly under the sunlight and have a fully saturated HDTV-quality colour mode.

Jepson Commented, “At Pixel Qi, we have a new series of inventions that go well beyond the OLPC screen that we are developing right now. We are working with a number of notebook and e-book makers on a number of different form factors. We can enable an increase of 5-10X battery life between charges compared with a standard notebook. This means that rather than needing to recharge your batteries every few hours, you could run 20-40 hours of use on a one charge.”
