LASER TELEVISION

While we are still trying to figure out if we should go for LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) television or a Plasma television, soon we will have another competing technology. And who know that it may deliver the knockout punch to both LCD and Plasma technologies.Laser technology which uses laser to provide display may surpass the plasma technology which uses electrically charged gases to cause materials called phosphors to glow in producing better color and crisp accuracy in its display.
Laser technology, in comparison to plasma and LCD flat panel, is also economically scaleable to larger screen sizes, enabling mass adoption of very thin, very large high-definition displays. Also Laser technology will take advantage of the latest extended color space standard for video applications, xvYCC, to produce the widest color gamut ever available in video displays.

It was only recently that lasers were miniaturized enough to fit in displays and projectors and then Novalux found out that by adding crystals of lithium niobate to gallium indium arsenide laser would boost its light output and change its wavelength from infrared to red , green or blue which are building blocks for color display. The lasers shine on arrays of thousands of micromirrors that flip back and forth thousands of times a second to combine the light into new colors of different intensities. Novalux will be using 72 lasers each for commercial products.

The Mitsubishi demonstrated their laser HDTV which utilizes separate red, green and blue semiconductor lasers in an exclusive implementation together with Texas Instrument’s 1080p DLP' HDTV chip. Mitsubishi’s laser technology enables a completely new look in large screen television, both in high performance picture reproduction and sleek, lightweight, and compact design.
This technology is waiting to take over all gadgets from mobile phones which will use as few as three lasers to movie projectors that use hundreds of lasers.
HAPPY VIEWING.
