Laptop batteries will be available for 40 hours Picture 1 Laptop battery can be used for 40 hours if new technology by screen technology developer Mary Lou Jepsen is applied in practice.

Jepsen used to be the chief of the screen division of Intel and also the technology director of the OLPC project. Now she is the director of Pixel Qi, based in Taiwan and San Francisco.

Jepsen plans to launch extremely low-power screens for laptops and e-books in the second half of next year. This type of screen can be used directly in sunlight, while fully integrated high-definition color display in HDTV standard.

This type of screen is one of the strengths of the XO laptop. The production cost is only 1/3 of that of a normal LCD screen, while the power consumption is only 1/10.

Pixel Qi is expected to develop all of its laptops and PCs with display technology to maximize power consumption. One of Pixel Qi's flagship products is e-books, which consume very little energy, making it possible for companies to produce laptops with longer battery life.

' We are working with several laptop manufacturers and e-books to create different product templates. We can increase battery life by 5 or 10 times compared to standard laptops. That means batteries can use 20-40 hours , "Ms. Jepsen said.

According to Ms. Jepsen, Pixel Qi is currently developing models for laptops and e-books with a length of only 1mm. It is expected that these integrated display products will be available in the market in the second half of next year.
