From: Randy Schafer Date: Wed, 17 Dec 1997 11:53:22 Subject: LCD DISPLAYS (NOTEBOOK SCREENS) WANTED LCD DISPLAYS WANTED You or your customers may be THROWING AWAY MONEY. Earth Computers will buy surplus LCD NOTEBOOK computer screens. We buy even proprietary screens. The flat panel marketplace has exploded in the last few years and given a window of opportunity for a new kind of company. Rather then scrapping the sometimes proprietary flat panels Earth Computer Technologies has set up a three phase program to re-market these panels. The environmentally sound thing for LCD materials managers to do is to allow Earth to re-market these panels in one of these ways: 1. Re-market to third world countries & niche markets. 2. Sell into the industrial market as a kit with a controller. 3. Sell into the service market. 4. Use in a product manufactured by Earth. Earth works with the LCD owner on an agent, cash buyout or consignment basis. The markets the panels are resold into can be restricted by the seller to prevent channel conflicts. Small manufacturers in new markets are willing to use low cost surplus flat panels to establish themselves in new markets. By acting as a missionary in new markets with a low cost solution Earth’s efforts can benefit the LCD manufacturer by helping to establish them in particular markets early on. By focusing on solutions Earth also avoids channel conflict with traditional LCD distribution. Recycling Solutions Earth has revolutionized the LCD user and production community by truly recycling the previous generation of LCD technology. This actually seeds new markets for the latest technology. Many Earth customers switch to newer LCD’s when the price curve fits their needs. LCD’s from E.O. (A.T.&T.) now monitor and control green houses. Epson notebook screens now are in X-Ray machines. Apple’s Powerbook 2300C screens now are in drive testers at Western Digital. Not traditional recyclers or brokers the Earth team members are creative visionaries putting your obsolete technology back to work. Many times our customers are thankful that they sent us their obsolete LCD’s because we still have some of them several years later for un-forseen service requirements.

Not only can the chemicals related to PCB fabrication and assembly but also the LCD material itself can be toxic. The CCFL light bulbs used in some LCD back lights have trace amounts of mercury. Throwing these in the garbage is immoral and possibly illegal in some areas.
