The quest in making laptops into thinner size with longer lasting battery life has gone one step further as LED backlighting, a new technique for LCD illumination, will be used in new Apple and HP laptops’ LCD screen.

Apple and HP are among the few laptop manufacturers that will be releasing LED backlit laptops in Q2 of 2007, while Sony and NEC already have their LED backlit laptops available in the market though in a limited range of laptop models.
