Laser TV CES 2008

CES 2008

The 2008 CES (January 7-10) is upon us and the buzz surrounding Mitsubishi’s long-anticipated Laser TV is starting to crank into high gear. Mitsubishi will showcase its 1080p HDTV which features a miniature triad of color lasers capable of reproducing nearly 90% of the visible color spectrum. To put this into perspective, plasma and LCD models can only reproduce about one-third of the colors the human eye can see.

Laser TV is being heralded as the next generation television as lasers are brighter, more vivid and more energy efficient (nee green) than any existing television on the market. Laser light is inherently monochromatic and directional, meaning nothing can touch its brightness, longevity and efficiency; not even LED.

More than one company is banking on the promise of laser technology. Along with Mitsubishi, Arasor, Coherent, QPC Lasers, Inc. and China’s ZTE Corporation are all anticipating that laser lit cell phone screens, televisions and microdisplays will explode upon the market in the near future. Manufacturing costs are expected to dramatically drop too as laser technology is widely embraced by the market. Because of licensing and proprietary battles, the once promising OLED and SED TV will likely fail, clearing the way for Laser TV to dominate.

“Mitsubishi is thought to have the best chance of dominating the headlines with its laser TV…”
