LG eBook Laptop Concept Wins Design Award

As South Korea’s second largest electronics company, LG Electronics really showed their stuff in 2006 with modern designs and cool products like the LG Chocolate phones, and innovative home appliances. Now LG has been recognized for their efforts in laptop PC design, with the LG eBook laptop concept PC being selected as one of the 12 “best of the best” design concept winners by Red Dot Award. The futuristic LG eBook laptop PC uses organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels for a display that consumes less electricity and operates on eco-friendly alcohol power. Making it even more unique, the transparent cylindrical hinge is used as storage for clean fuels like methyl alcohol. Also, like the popular LG Chocolate phone, the eBook's keypad is made of an OLED panel giving it a very slick look.
