GreenPix creates massive, self-sustaining LED display in China


A company called GreenPix has created an astounding combination of sustainable technology and digital media virtuosity, dubbed the Zero Energy Media Wall. The system features the world's largest (so they claim) color LED display, powered completely by photovoltaic cells which are integrated into the glass curtain. During the day, the wall -- located on the Xicui entertainment complex in Beijing -- harvests solar energy, then expends the charge at night in a display of undulating colors. The system goes on display this month, but if you can't make it to China, you can watch a video of the work in action after the break.

Panasonic shows off big and bright LED display

It's far from the biggest LED display we've seen, but Panasonic's new Astrovision/AZ-LE12F series display is certainly impressive enough in its own right, thanks in no small part to its blinding 5,000 cd/m2 brightness rating. At over 13 feet across and nearly ten feet high, it's also hard to go unnoticed, which appears to be the intention as the first such display has now been installed in the new "Qiball" building in Chiba City, Japan. Passers-by should also be able to get a good look at the display thanks to its wide 145 degree horizontal viewing angle and 80 degree vertical viewing angle, with the display also promising "excellent RGB blending" from its 3-in-1 LEDs. Sadly, there's no word on a home version just yet, so it looks like you'll have to make do with some of the slightly smaller options currently at your disposal.

HP Compaq's 2510p laptop / 2710p tablet to rock LED displays

If you can somehow look back all the way to this year's humble beginnings, you'd know that HP was already whispering about LED-backlit laptops, and while it's taken a tick to hear something official, it looks like the long-awaited upgrade to LED-based displays will be landing shortly. The HP Compaq 2510p 12.1-inch laptop and 2710p tablet PC will reportedly be the first two on the list to receive such treatment, and while we've already seen the majority of the specifications for the both of 'em, the tantalizing Illumi-Lite display is definitely icing on the cake. Unfortunately, pricing information is still being held behind tight lips, but the firm's duo of LED-packin' machines are scheduled to ship out in Q3 of this year.
