Sharp Develops New Laser Capable of Recording Blu-ray Discs at 6x

malware · Feb 14, 2008

Sharp has developed new 250 mW blue-violet laser diodes which promise to bring a substantial speed boost to Blu-ray writers - up from 72Mb/s today to a maximum of 216Mb/s, equal to 6x recording speed. The new laser will be produced in two models - one 3.3mm package for laptop Blu-ray writers and a 5.6mm version for desktop drives. Samples of the new diodes are available at this time, but aren't exactly cheap: Sharp charges 50,000 Yen or about $462 per unit. The company will start mass production of both products from April 2008.

They are hanging in because they have manufactures with tons of products that they want to make money on before they have a dead product. By summer time, this will all be over...Retailers are already reporting that they have more HD-DVD player returns than they actually have in stock.
