LCD Increases Global Warming

Perhaps many people do not know much about the impact of pollution from LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) television. From the results of the research scientist Michael Prather, from New Scientist, a service that focuses on science and technology news, that chemicals used to make LCD televisions and semi-conductor global warming could cause more fuel than coal.

Trifluorida nitrogen (NF3) is a “greenhouse gas that is not visible,” based on research from the journal entitled “Geophysical Research Letters” on 26 last June. Nitrogen Trifluorida used in making chemical smoke, which can create a layer lquid Crystal, semi-conductor and synthetic diamonds. Prather estimates that the results of chemical production will be increased to 8,000 metric tons in 2009. Meanwhile, global warming from Nitrogen Trifluorida will result in 17,000 times stronger than the effect karbondiaosida (CO2).

Not only NF3 and the carbon dioxide that can improve the quality of global warming. According to the Kyoto Protocol International Climate Change, a Japanese company working in the field of climate change, said that the emissions Perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and sulfur hexafluoride more potential to increase global warming than NF3.

Kyoto Protocol International Climate Change is likely to NF3 gas, and several dozen other is not at risk of global warming because NF3 is not produced in large scale to create the damage that siginifikan. Some companies, especially the manufacturer of LCD televisions fade understand the risk, so they try to reduce chemical pollution arising from the NF3 in the LCD television. If this is done, it is very possible for the manufacturer of LCD will switch to digital television.

News Scientist in the research also proved that LCD televisions are designed with the economic-friendly because the LCD television uses less energy than plasma television.
