Laser TV

“Don’t sit too close to the TV, it will ruin your eyes.” Mothers have been expressing this concern for over 50 years, and little children’s corneas have been going undamaged for just as long. As video technology has evolved, televisions have gotten bigger, televisions have gotten smaller, but the light source has only improved slightly from the old days.

Laser TV is often misunderstood as a futuristic and far-fetched alternative to the way we now view television. In reality, Laser TV is the broad name associated with the emerging market of televisions and other monitors powered by lasers as the backlight source. The incorporation of laser technology represents the source of light only, not the way the images are displayed on the screen.

Plasma and LCD model televisions have very good pictures, much better than a cathode ray tube TV, and the prices on these models are continually falling. LED technology even promises a better and brighter picture. Guess what? Lasers are better than LED backlights and lasers are magnitudes brighter, more energy efficient, and longer lasting. Lasers can even be integrated into plasma and LCD models, thereby further improving the image quality, efficiency, etc.

Laser-powered televisions will project a more constant and stable light source, capable of reproducing a brighter, sharper and more vibrant image. In addition, the gray and black levels, and the overall contrast will be vastly superior to any television commercially available in the market today. As the manufacturing and licensing of laser TV technology multiplies in the coming months and years, nothing will stop this train. Perhaps a new technology will emerge to be superior, note SED TV, but given the broad market of options, consumers will fall in love with the high-quality and low-priced brand of Laser TVs.

Mitsubishi is still the front runner to have laser-powered televisions available in the U.S. by Christmas, according to this article. Australians may have to wait an additional 12-18 months.
