These electronic pages use less power than liquid crystal displays and also look more like printed paper.
It's the most open and liquid power market in the United States, offering both residential and commercial users a broad choice of power suppliers.
While gadget hounds delighted in the new iPad, materials-science geeks lamented the continuing dominance of power-hungry liquid-crystal displays that use heavy pieces of glass.

As for the liquid lens, Nippon Electric Glass' version uses low-power electric field to control its liquid crystal molecular orientation, thus changing the focal point.

Biofuelwatch says Holland and Germany have withdrawn subsidies from liquid biofuels for power generation.
To save power, for instance, the XO's liquid-crystal display (the biggest consumer of juice in a laptop) can be flipped from backlit colour to self-reflecting monochrome.
That, plus the fact that the liquid crystals will revert to transparency if the power goes off, mean an LCD eats batteries.

India has been working on thorium for some years, but the technology is as different from today's nuclear power as gas is from coal, and very few nuclear engineers even hear about liquid fuel during their training, let alone get to work on it.
They went over a comprehensive energy reform plan, and based on their study, they realized that they would be dependent on liquid fuels, but base load wise, they could be energy independent through nuclear power.
The digital "eyebrow" display at the top of the instrument panel provides high visibility for the Eco indicator and speedometer, while the lower liquid crystal meter display houses the new percentage style state-of-charge meter, power meter, battery temperature gauge, multi-function display, remaining energy gauge, capacity level gauge and distance to empty display.
