The biggest problem with smart phones and tablet PC is that they are powered with average battery specifications which provides one or two days of usage. The adoption of latest processor in the market and better display screen with HD features all consumes battery. Sharp Corporation a Japan based multinational company has come up with innovative idea of using the IGZO panel display on their latest tablet PC instead of going with the higher power battery. The IGZO panel consumes very less battery for operation and we will learn more about it as we go through the Sharp Aquos Pad SHT21 specifications and features.
