In terms of energy efficiency, that prototype uses about a quarter of a 28-inch CRT TV, whilst having nearly the same display area. Even whether it were to be compared to today’s LCD TV’s, it would still be energy friendly, as it would be using about
one third of their consumption.The benefits of having such a low-power LCD TV is that it can be run from a solar module, whose surface area would roughly be the same as the viewing area of the screen, allowing it to be used in places with utility-supplied electricity is scarce.
