With increase in image quality and screen sizes, the energy consumption of computer displays and television sets has significantly grown. In a typical personal computer or PC, display accounts for 30%~50% of the total PC energy consumption [Mahesri 2005, Robertson 2002]. For instance, typical 19 inch LCD monitor, such as Sony SDM-S93 (1280x1024 pixels), burns in active mode 50W or almost 38% of...

To investigate the effect of ion-neutral collisions on plasma sheaths over floating surfaces, experimental measurements of near-wall plasma potential profiles are conducted in a multidipole plasma device with neutral pressures of 1 and 5 mTorr-Ar. Sheath and presheath potential profiles are measured over a HP grade boron nitride sample using an emissive probe, employing the technique of inflect...

As computing performance and network technology have evolved, mobile device users can enjoy high quality multimedia more easily. Remote Display the technology which mirrors the screen of one device to another device allows handheld mobile devices to share their screen contents with larger-sized display devices such as TVs. However, there is general concern about high power consumption caused by...
