Out goes the LCD technology, and here comes the latest in town, the LPD technology. LPD’s or laser phosphor displays are greener and more environment and eco friendly, given the fact that they use 25 percent lesser energy than LCD’s and LED’s used today. These screens are available in all shapes and sizes and not just plain long rectangular screens. LPD’s do away with transistor layers and use blinking lasers that create patterns of phosphor stripes. The first generation of this technology may prove to be expensive; however, long term financial gains are expected from the use of LPD screens. The company Prysm, that is currently working on the development on the screens are keeping the information of this technology confidential and are aiming to hit it big screen for the start, to check out on costs and financial benefits. So down go the LCD’s in our malls and city squares, and make way for an energy efficient alternative.
