The screen of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) reduces 30% energy consumption

The new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, the version 2014 Edition, not only increase the battery life to include more than 8,200 mAh. Improvements in the new display will also be closely related to increased autonomy since it has learned that the screen will be more efficient to spend around 30% less energy than other LCD panels. Although the tablets is a minor problem, any technology that serves to optimize the battery life is welcome. Such is the case of Samsung and its new tablet Galaxy Note 10.1, which has Super Clear LCD panel that promises more efficient energy consumption reduction of around 30%.

What is the secret?

The main novelty of the panel, Super Clear LCD type is the type PenTile matrix subpixel incorporating four. When it is normal that these LCD panels are RGB, RGBW here is. As indicated from AndroidAuthority , this means that the usual three subpixels (red, green and blue) that make up a pixel is added to a room, in this case white. This fourth pixel filter would be responsible for as much light from the backlight of the panel itself, increasing the brightness level of around 50% compared to other solutions. Actually this technology already had a chance to meet in the Sony Xperia P thanks to technology the Japanese called White Magic .

Greater autonomy and shine

The result is a high density screen pixel (has a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600 pixels) that reduces energy consumption by up to 30%. This solution can achieve the same brightness level than other conventional LCDs at the expense of lower energy consumption. This advantage over OLED panels could keep signing new models and it seems that the next tablet with 13.3-inch display will incorporate the same panel.
