Today, Steve Jobs released a statement showing plan to make apple more environmentally friendly. His main focus was on how LCD displays contain toxic chemicals, where LED displays do not. Here is an excerpt from the statement;

“To eliminate mercury in our displays, we need to transition from fluorescent lamps to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to illuminate the displays. Fortunately, all iPod displays already use LEDs for illumination, and therefore contain no mercury. We plan to introduce our first Macs with LED backlight technology in 2007. Our ability to completely eliminate fluorescent lamps in all of our displays depends on how fast the LCD industry can transition to LED backlighting for larger displays.”
