Another is to increase the battery life of laptops, with the goal that we can use them between twenty and forty hours without needing to connect to the stream. They have the difficult task at hand, which will focus on the screen, one element that most defines the consumption of the computer.

They are currently working on several prototype display, including an electronic ink capable of operating in color display and video. For the next year they want to launch one that consumes very little power and can be viewed under direct sunlight.
