The Linde Group promises more eco-friendly LCD manufacturing

Hopefully ready to calm down recent media alerts about the deadly chemicals that might be in your TV right now RUN, RUN RUN, The Linde Group is offering a replacement for nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) currently used during the production of LCDs and solar panels. The recent news has focused on the lack of monitoring around NF3 and its possible affect on global warming, The Linde Group's process uses fluorine gas for higher effeciency and zero global warming potential. The company's fluorine generators are already in use by manufacturers like Toshiba Matsushita Display, Samsung and LG, and since 1080p can be so easily obscured by smog and rising oceans, we hope others take a look at their environmental impact very closely as well.
