Full FeedMacBook Air halo effect increases LED display growth exponentially
The presence of a LED lit display in Apple’s relatively new MacBook Air has apparently brought the technology to the forefront of new machines. However, it is not just computers as you would expect, LCD televisions are also jumping on the bandwagon. There is expected to be a large 16.7 million devices using this technology by the end of this year compared to a measly 4 million in 2007. One reason the technology is so appealing is because of its even lighting and low energy consumption. On the other end, one reason it has been adopted so slowly is due to its high cost.
I don’t know about you, but I’m all for longer battery life in laptops. Not only that, but LED lit displays take up about only half the space of a traditional CCFL backlight which allows for thinner machines. Once the price falls a little lower due to higher production, we could be seeing LED displays a lot more in the future.

I have to say a price increase isn’t what I expected, but the new features in the MBP probably added a bit to cost. I thought they were going to ramp up on mass market sales, but the MBP is priced so the only people who can justify it are apple fanatics and professional.
