LAPTOPS AND MOBILE DEVICES
LAPTOP COMPONENTS
• Laptop Displays
• LCD, LED, and OLED Displays
• 2 types of LCD: Twisted Nematic (TN) and In-Plane Switching (IPS)
• TN: Offer high brightness, uses less power than IPS, inexpensive
• IPS: Better color reproduction and better viewing angles
• LEDs: Use less power and have longer lifespan
• OLED: Commonly used for mobile devices and digital cameras
• Backlights and Inverters
• LCD: Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) & Inverter
• LED: LED based backlights
• WI-FI Antenna Connectors
• Typically located above the screen
• Connects to wireless card
• Webcam and Microphone
• Built into most laptops today
