Portable devices. A laser-powered backlight is very bright, features a high color gamut and consumes very little energy. This type of backlight translates into a bright and colorful image, all contained in a very efficient and long-life package. To put this in perspective, laser diodes developed by Novalux are reportedly six times brighter than LEDs. Battery technology has really not caught up to the burgeoning portable device market, so it makes sense for more energy efficient lighting sources to pick up the slack. Most cell phone displays are hard to see at best, even in the most optimum light. Cell phones are not the only portable device which will benefit from the superior brightness and energy efficiency of laser-lit displays. Portable video devices, GPS, laptop monitors, PDAs, and even portable projectors will shed pounds, lose the heat and noise and never need a $500 replacement bulb.

you make an excellent point - portable devices have always suffered when in outdoor or in direct sunlight, greatly reducing their visibility. this might be the solution to those problems… wonder if we can avoid the glare, too!
