They say the average lifetime of a laptop of cellphone is normally 2 years. Even my old cellphones last around that time before the screen goes dead or the battery does not charge for long. Now thanks to a new power-saving display by Clairvoyante, it looks like this gadgets will have a longer life.
Cell-phone and laptop batteries could last up to 50 percent longer, thanks to a new type of display technology that’s being developed by Clairvoyante, a company based in Cupertino, CA. Clairvoyante announced last month that it was introducing technology that could allow cell-phone, digital-camera, and laptop makers to develop power-saving displays that could dynamically adjust their backlight and color intensity based on the color and brightness of the content.
My Nokia 6630 is 3 years old and the battery is still good and last for 3 days on normal use and 5 – 7 days in standby. I am not sure whether this is a new technology as it says to have developed power-saving displays that adjust their backlight and color. Nokia 6630 has the capability to adjust the backlight based on the environment we are in. Any difference?
