Dell plans to transition all of its new notebook displays to light-emitting diode (LED) in the next 12 month.

Two-thirds of Dell Latitude E-Family notebooks will be shipped with mercury-free LED backlighting as a standard feature. This includes the Latitude E4200, E4300, E6400, E6400 ATG and E6500. Also shipping with LED backlighting as a standard display will be the Dell Precision M2400 and M4400 mobile workstations.

In addition to being mercury-free and highly recyclable, LED displays deliver significant energy savings compared to cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) technology.

Dell estimates that at least 80% of its total laptop volume will be delivered with LED as a standard back-lit display by the end of 2009 and 100% in 2010. The company's progress in LED technology is evidenced not only by this long-term commitment but also by development efforts over the past 18 months.
