Abstract
Content

Although battery-powered computer based instruments are commonplace, they typically lack powerful processors capable of running sophisticated Windows 2000/XP-level applications. They rarely offer large, high-resolution backlit displays, which are critical to running today’s software and providing a comprehensive user interface. The larger and brighter the displays are, the more power they require — and are usually the biggest power draw in any system. The displays on even the most expensive notebook PCs are unusable in outside environments — even in weak sunlight — simply because the brightness of the backlight is limited severely in order to preserve battery life.
