DIY Screen Kit for netbooks by Pixel Qi

Mar 9, 2010 Netbooks

This is what we were looking for, something that can boost our netbook’s battery life without harming our device. Pixel Qi did just that. The brand created something fascinating, a low-power display aka a diy kit which allows for netbooks users to switch their LCD screen with the Pixel Qi’s one. Feeling confused? So were we. According to Pixel Qi founder and CEO Mary Lou Jepsen, “The DIY kits from our distributor will be available towards the end of Q2. We will be announcing with them prior to distribution,”

We don’t know any more details on it including price or technical details or even the release date. What we do know is that the brand plans to release first a 10.1-inch display in the market to probably test the waters. The LCD display as claimed by Pixel Qi can consume between one-quarter and one-half as much power as traditional LCD screens. As we all know, it is the displays of a netbook or laptop that takes in more power from the battery so by having a Pixel Qi-made battery, it would help save your device’s battery life. We can’t just wait for it to release which will hopefully be by June.
