 | This article contains information about a scheduled or expected future product.
It may contain preliminary or speculative information, and may not reflect the final version of the product. | Laser TV is a new technology using optoelectronics. It is currently under development by several consumer electronics companies. [1] The first laser TVs are slated to be available to consumers in late 2007 or early 2008. [2] Wikipedia does not have an article with this exact name. ...
Optoelectronics is the study and application of electronic devices that interact with light. ...
Lasers have long been a desired substitute for the UHP lamps currently in use in projection display devices such as rear projection TV and front projectors. This is because of their saturated color output, high light energy efficiency and long lifetime. Historically, however, lasers have been too bulky and expensive for widespread adoption.
Silicon Valley-based Novalux is one company spearheading laser TV efforts. [3] Novalux has developed "Necsel" laser technology, a type of semiconductor laser that exhibits the necessary optical and physical characteristics and price point for high-volume display applications. A view of downtown San Jose, the self-proclaimed Capital of Silicon Valley. ...
Novalux claims the new laser technology will allow displays with a richer, more vibrant color palette than the conventional plasma, LCD or CRT displays. A palette, in computer graphics, is a designated subset of the total range of colours supported by a computer graphics system. ...
A plasma display panel (PDP) is an emissive flat panel display where visible light is created by phosphors excited by a plasma discharge between two flat panels of glass. ...
Reflective twisted nematic liquid crystal display. ...
It has been suggested that Crookes tube be merged into this article or section. ...
They also claim the displays will:[4]
- be half the weight and cost of Plasma or LCD displays
- require 75% less power than Plasma or LCD displays
- be very thin like Plasma and LCD displays are today
- have a very wide colour gamut
- have a 50,000 hour life
Since this type of laser technology is compact, bright and low cost, it is also slated for integration into "embedded" displays in mobile phones and PDAs. The images could be beamed from any device onto a wall with the same rich color and brightness. In computer graphics, the gamut, or color gamut (pronounced ), is a certain complete subset of colors. ...
Samsung and Mitsubishi have confirmed they will be introducing laser-based displays[5], although a number of other major TV manufacturers have indicated that they have no plans to incorporate the technology into their product ranges.[6]
