Power-Saving Features All the Rage at Intel Developers Forum
Posted by Jason Dunn in "NEWS" @ 06:00 AM
"One Intel partner, Toshiba Matsushita Display, unveiled a new LCD (liquid-crystal display) design that can switch between progressive scan mode and interlaced scan mode, said Hiroyuki Echigo, senior manager for business development at TMD. The business is a joint venture of Toshiba and Matsushita Electric Industrial, known primarily for its Panasonic-brand products. A display operating in progressive scan mode refreshes its image much more frequently than one in interlaced scan mode, used by most televisions to show pictures. Progressive scanning results in a more detailed image, but consumes a lot more power than an interlaced scan, Echigo said."
