LG Logo In further attempts to hep the environment, LG has recently announced that they have been hard at work on creating an LCD panel that uses sunlight to light the screen when the laptop is used outside.

The screen they have developed is a 14.1 inch monitor that uses reflective plates in the backlighting panels to reflect sunlight, and then you are able to easily switch back to normal backlighting when using the laptop indoors.

The nice thing about the reflective plates is that it uses only 1/4 of the normal energy, thus saving battery power and electricity. Also, if you are working in a room that is usually flooded with sunlight, it can work indoors too, but you would need a lot of sunlight. In addition, the contrast ratio when used outdoors is 9:1, unlike the normal 2:1 or 3:1 by other notebooks when used outdoors.

No word on official release date as of yet, but it will be on display at CES coming this January.
