Display Engineering Leads the Way for $100 Laptop Design

摘要

Early in 2005, I helped found One Laptop per Child (OLPC) with Nicholas Negroponte, founder and chairman emeritus of the MIT Media Laboratory and became the first OLPC employee. The effort emerged as a way to capture the endless momentum of Moore's Law - which holds that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit for mini- mum component cost doubles every 24 months - and create a laptop for those far on the other side of the digital divide; namely, the poor children of the world and their families. In fact, the vast majority of the world lives without so many of the things we consider essential, not least of which is access to information.
