"A Japanese company has developed lighting technology that it claims makes handheld screens brighter and clearer, with reduced power consumption. Omron, of Kyoto, Japan, has announced that its research labs produced a technique--dubbed hybrid-integration technology--that uses very small, or "nano," prism arrays to achieve a threefold improvement in contrast ratio compared to conventional front-lighting methods. The tiny prism array prevents reflection of unnecessary light and produces clear screen images."
