Dell’s Latitude XT impressed many through its daylight view feature supported by such a portable design. Until now, nobody cared which of the daylight viewable or the LED one was superior. Rob Bushway, from GottaBeMobile conducted a long-term analysis and concluded that the LED-based machine is better.

OMDM were present at the CHITEC 2008 from Beijing, China, and presented their latest product: a huge LED display that can be fixed to a car or almost any type of vehicle to drive through the city, advertising whatever you want to promote.

This interactive color cube was designed by Steve Gilbertson and it’s based on 3-axis accelerometer to determine which color to show. The cube uses colored LEDs and it creates an impressive light show with the help of the X, Y and Z axis accelerometer that display the color depending on the angle.

The 2008 Beijing Olympics are getting closer and closer therefore the final preparations must be done. Near the games site, in the Xicui entertainment complex, you will find a huge LED screen display. Solar panels are included in the screen which means that the screen gets its energy from the sun.
The self-sustainable gigantic display is called GreenPix Zero Energy Media Wall offers a spectacular lights show (for the moment) and it’s based on solar photovoltaic cells hidden behind the LEDs. The designers of the GreenPix Media Wall are the New …

The Norwegian design house TRØKK16 is present at the 2008 Milan International Furniture Fair where they will exhibit their award-winner Loop LED Lamp. The desk lamp won the Prixluxo Award at the 2007 Stockholm Furniture Fair and now it’s hungrier for more awards.

A Chinese display manufacturer called Seekway is the proud designer of an interesting 3D LED cube that is able to display images at about 30 fps. Yes, I know, that’s great. The display measures consists of 16 x 16 x 16 interconned vivid LEDs which means a total of 4096 LEDs.
For the future, Seekway plans to build a 48 x 48 x 48 3D LED cube for a total of 110,592 interconnected LEDs. Until they manage to build that monster, check out the video below with this tiny prototype.

If any of you is Jack the Ripper then you should reconsider your career. Here comes the Lipstick Stun Gun which is capable of producing 350,000 volts.

If you were thinking to buy some fancy LEDs, I know that will be attracted by these new Wind-Lit Solar LEDs. The lighting is very cool and the power for the LEDs comes from renewable energies -  solar and wind power. As they are hanged outside during daylight, they will harvest energy and all night long the LEDs will nicely light up even the darkest side of an interior.

Everybody in the world loves LEDs. These tiny lighting devices are drawing anyone’s attention no matter what. After you will watch the video below I am sure you will love them even more. This is a totally unique use for the LEDs and I think that the kids will need the parental advisory to watch the video. It’s better that I stop writing and let you check out one of the best use for the LEDs.

For the next generation of lighting you can either choose from LEDs or OLEDs. Currently, LEDs seem to have gained an advantage but the in the OLED technology, Osram has managed a breakthrough that allowed them to develop warm white OLEDs.
The study began about two years ago and now the results are finally showing off. Osram says that their OLEDs have an efficiency of 46 lm/W, a brightness of about 1000 cd/m2 and an endurance of more than 5000 hours. The researchers from Osram started a project called 500 lm …

I am guessing that many of you are fond of LEDs because they just happen to have a special brightness of their colors. If you were thinking to buy some LEDs, I think that you will be happy to hear that you can do it yourself. You will need an old VCR but if you already thrown those things away, a CD-ROM will be just fine. Charles Palen used his VCR, pinwheels, wiring and some power tools, but it will be better if you watch him in action in the …

Technology development offers more and more compact solutions with every new invention that comes out of science laboratories. The Luxim specialists developed a micro-sized light bulb, about the size of a pill, able to light a street using 250 watts of power, enough to get ahead of a 400 watts one.
Luxim’s light bulb uses Argon gas to produce light. Electrical energy is delivered to a component called the puck, which acts as an electrical lens. The gas is turned up into plasma; it heats up and gives light. The light …

Recent reports say that Dell is preparing to replace the D830 and the D630 with a new series of Latitude E laptops. The new models are E6500 with a 15.4 inch display and the E6400, a 14.1 incher. The leaked laptops are scheduled for release in June and it’s also said that these lappies will be the first to make use of Montevina / Centrino 2 machines. The 6500 is supposed to feature integrated GPS, Bluetooth 2.1, mobile broadband, UWP, LED back-lighting, 84WHr batteries and some multiple options for the disk drives.

This has to be the coolest watch design that I have ever seen. Meet the LED-based Time-IT Watch.
