iPad mini can work 24 hours

Recently the company Sharp has introduced its new tablet called Aquos Pad, which goes on sale in Japan in December.

Technology IGZO (encoded in the abbreviation name of complex chemical compounds - indium, gallium and zinc) has been much reduced in pixel size, which provides a clear picture and a significant increase in the efficiency of the battery.

Since Sharp supplies displays for various gadgets Apple, the assumption of the possible use of the technology in the new tablet seems to present itself. But we will not dwell on this, but just describe in detail how, in what a spectacular little thing can turn the innovative iPad screen.

Knowing the company Apple, which did not miss his attention any technology that can allow it even harder to break away from the competition and strengthen its position as an innovator of global scale, we can be sure that sooner or later she will want to use this display in their products. And if 23 October, we will not see the display on the IGZO iPad mini, this technology may well appear at the next sentence iPad or, say, MacBook Air. Would not have any of you gave up a laptop that can run all day without having to run to the outlet.

Of course, guesswork thankless, besides about the technology IGZO know that while it is available only for tablets with 7-inch (iPad mini, we recall, is a bit more). However, the idea that the period of autonomy of our favorite gadget can be more than doubled, at least encouraging.
