It is this same innovation that is driving Apple to its latest venture..good news MAC users, your battery life is about to get even longer than its already impressive 6-10 hours. Word out of Silicon Valley is that Apple is all geared to use IGZO — or indium gallium zinc oxide displays for its next generation of MacBooks. Summarily, IGZO is an oxide semiconductor used in TFTs, or thin film transistors, which allows electron mobility at a rate approximately 10 times faster than amorphous silicon-based LCD displays. That means IGZO displays provide lower power consumption, which gives mobile devices a longer battery life.
