Konica Minolta Japan Unveils Brightest Organic EL Backlight

Konica Minolta Japan will surely get cheers from people who are left groping in the dark when their cellphone backlights aren’t bright enough to illuminate the LCDs in case of total blackout. The company has unveiled the world’s brightest Organic EL backlight, which boasts a brightness level of 1,000 cd/m2. It’ll be used in mobile phones and other portable devices to increase readability in both low light and bright light conditions. I’m thinking that with this technology, we can look forward to portable gaming devices that will be as bright (or even brighter) than the DS Lite.

No word yet from Konica as to when the technology will be commercialized.
