Early electronic computer front panels were fitted with an array of light bulbs where the state of each particular bulb would indicate the on/off state of a particular register bit inside the computer. This allowed the engineers operating the computer to monitor the internal state of the machine, so this panel of lights came to be known as the ...
White LEDs are used most often in notebook computers and desktop screens, and make up virtually all mobile LCD screens. A white LED is typically a blue LED with broad spectrum yellow phosphor to result in the emission of white light. However, because the spectral curve peaks at yellow, it is a poor match to the transmission peaks of the red and ...
The second-generation Macintosh, launched in 1987, came with colour (and greyscale) capability as standard, at two levels, depending on monitor size—512×384 (1/4 of the later XGA standard) on a 12" (4:3) colour or greyscale (monochrome) monitor; 640×480 with a larger (13" or 14") high-resolution monitor (superficially similar to VGA, but at ...
The monochromatic light from an electroluminescent source does not work well with color displays, however. An incandescent frontlight was therefore a popular accessory for the Nintendo's Game Boy line up until the first model of the Game Boy Advance ; the Game Boy Advance SP introduced a frontlight, which made external lights redundant.

OLED displays use 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image that is primarily black as they lack the need for a backlight, [35] while OLED can use more than three times as much power to display a mostly white image compared to an LCD. [36] Environmental influences
In 1988, Sharp demonstrated a 14-inch, active-matrix, full-color, full-motion TFT-LCD. This led to Japan launching an LCD industry, which developed large-size LCDs, including TFT computer monitors and LCD televisions. [55] Epson developed the 3LCD projection technology in the 1980s, and licensed it for use in projectors in 1988. [56]
A Pixel Qi screen installed in an OLPC XO laptop operating in transmissive mode. The screen is in color mode and is retro-illuminated. A transflective liquid-crystal display [1] is a liquid-crystal display (LCD) with an optical layer that reflects and transmits light (transflective is a portmanteau of transmissive and reflective).
