Apple moving to all LED backlights in their notebooks by 2009

May 23, 2008

Section: Apple, Apple News, Updates, Mac + Computers, Laptops, MacBook Air, MacBook, MacBook Pro

Green Apple LogoBacklight producer Kenmos Technology, the company that makes the LED backlit displays for Apple’s MacBooks, will now have their technology in every MacBook by 2009.  This technology not only helps save battery life, but is better for the environment as it rids of the mercury in older displays.  These advantages don’t come for a price in performance as they offer the same brightness and color range as older displays while not even needing time to warm up.  It’s great to see Apple, as well as other technology companies, moving to help the environment.

You can find all of the ways Apple is becoming more “green” over at their environment page on their website.  There you can find tons of interesting facts about what they are doing to help.  For example, did you know that “Apple reduced packaging for many software titles by more than 50% in 2006 — eliminating hundreds of thousands of pounds of packaging waste”?  Great job, Apple, and keep up the good work.  We love it when environmentalists are happy with our favorite fruitful company!
