To determine how many times more energy efficient IMOD technology is compared to LCD technology, follow these steps:
1. First, note the average battery life for each technology given in the table:
- LCD technology has an average battery life of 10 hours.
- IMOD technology has an average battery life of 5 days.
2. Convert IMOD technology's battery life from days to hours:
- 1 day = 24 hours.
- Therefore, 5 days = 5 * 24 = 120 hours.
3. Calculate the energy efficiency ratio by comparing the battery life in hours of IMOD to LCD:
- Energy Efficiency Ratio = [tex]\(\frac{\text{IMOD Battery Life (hours)}}{\text{LCD Battery Life (hours)}}\)[/tex]
- Plugging in the values we get:
[tex]\[
\text{Energy Efficiency Ratio} = \frac{120 \text{ hours}}{10 \text{ hours}} = 12
\][/tex]
4. Thus, IMOD technology is 12 times more energy efficient than LCD technology.
Based on the table, IMOD technology is [tex]\( \boxed{12} \)[/tex] times more energy efficient than LCD technology.
