Optoelectronics combines optics together with electronics for emitting, modulating, transmitting, and sensing light signals in the consumer electronics industry.
Arasor's focus is to enable the optoelectronic solutions that drive laser-based displays for use in flat screen televisions and digital projectors. Working with Novalux Corporation (see http://www.novalux.com ), Arasor's optical chip-set is used to generate the primary colors of red, green and blue, and create the laser light source.
The compactness and efficiency of the laser source will play a pivotal role in the emerging pocket projection market, and will further expand the information revolution by enabling the "pico" or hand-held personal projection display.

Laser based displays offer significant benefits over traditional light bulb driven displays, the most striking of which is an increased visible color gamut which creates images with richer reds, blues and greens than existing television or lamp projector displays can offer.
Laser display TVs offer significant advantages over Plasma and LCD TVs including:
-
Expanded color range: 200% of NTSC/HDTV
-
Brighter & more vibrant color (Instant on/off, No burn-in)
-
Easy to scale up in screen size
-
Half the manufacture price of same size plasma
-
Significantly longer life and decreased need for power

Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America Introduces New Category of Large-Format Televisions with Groundbreaking Laser Technology
Mitsubishi's Revolutionary Laser Television Raises Home Entertainment to a New Level
LAS VEGAS — January 7, 2008 — Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc. today announced the world premiere of the laser television category during the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, unveiling a new large-format LaserTV that delivers as much as twice the color of current high-definition televisions.
Mitsubishi has harnessed its worldwide leadership in precision laser technology to produce the first-ever laser-powered television, delivering a range of color never before seen in home entertainment. Precise and focused, the purity of laser light surpasses current high-definition technologies. Today's HDTVs display less than 40 percent of the color spectrum that the eye can see. Now, for the first time ever, laser produces twice the color. Laser beams provide the widest range of rich, complex colors, along with the most clarity and depth of field.
This LaserTV category introduction represents a significant milestone in Mitsubishi's strategy to lead the large-format, high-definition television space and meet the growing consumer demand for a richer entertainment experience. Mitsubishi has long led in large-format and high-definition television innovation with introduction of the big screen category in 1978 and, subsequently, the world's first 50-inch rear projection TV, first 35-inch color TV, and first 1080p DLP® HDTV.
“Mitsubishi has delivered significant technology innovations in the large-format television arena, and the debut of LaserTV further strengthens our position and track record for HDTV leadership,” said Frank DeMartin, vice president, marketing, at Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America. “LaserTV technology creates a portal to an intensely real and vivid world – beyond ordinary flat TV. It's a true dimension experience.”
A New Dimension in Home Theater: LaserTV and 3D
Mitsubishi LaserTVs not only provide the ultimate picture quality, they are also capable of delivering a true 3D viewing experience, demonstrating the company's continued commitment to set the standard for entertainment viewing by partnering with Hollywood on next-generation entertainment solutions. At the LaserTV launch event at the Palms Hotel on Monday, Mitsubishi teamed with leading 3D digital technology provider REAL D to demonstrate the most advanced 3D content available today.
Environmentally friendly
The Mitsubishi large-format LaserTVs provide the highest performance in HDTV, and they do so with low power consumption. While today's flat panel HDTVs consume significantly more energy than the analog TVs that they replace, LaserTVs are energy efficient, consuming less power than comparably sized flat-panel sets.
The unique styling of Mitsubishi's LaserTV allows for easy wall-mounting in a variety of home entertainment settings.
Mitsubishi will ship LaserTVs to authorized retailers in the United States later this year.

How did you watch your finals?
Pubs spend $100,000 on a 100 inch plasma when they could have had this at a fraction of the cost..
Unlike a Plasma screen this one lasts forever.
With a "Daylight Screen" it's like being there, without the parking (Actual Images)

Laser TV..
Statements like don't buy anything else and wait for laser TV need to be read with cynicism. Without the DLP chip you have nothing so should it really be called Phaser TV? Sounds even cooler..
Hype is sometimes for the benefited of potential investors. "The unveiling of the laser TV prototype was held on the eve of Arasor's public float on the Australian Stock Exchange next week."
FED Field emission display was all the rage and offered most of the claims laser TV now does. From 2001 a company spent $600 million on producing FEDs, later in 2004 sold the farm to Canon then filed for chapter 11 or we're in trouble now.
SED Surface-conduction Electron-emitter Display
Since 1987 it's been the next big thing Canon Inc. and Toshiba Corp. are to launch surface-conduction electron-emitter display (SED) technology, in 2008 which some industry experts are expecting to be the plasma killer.
It's been known for a while that lasers can do it all!
Laser-DLP TV works much the same as DLP rear projection TV's except that the light source is lasers rather than a mercury lamp. There is no need for a spinning colour wheel as in single chip DLP projectors etc. 3 lasers or light sources are used and modulated to give the required colour.
All good so far, it gets better on paper.. a much larger colour gamut which means you can see more colours if 16 million or more is not enough.
Points not debated
Lasers used in the current prototype TVs are not as bright so you'll need to use a high gain screen which will restrict viewing angles. That's if you're competing with LCD in a bight room.
Laser TV must draw the colours sequentially i.e. Red then Blue then Green. This is much like a DLP projector and some people get headaches from colour strobes. You may see DLP "Rainbows" too.
Because a colour wheel is replaced by 3 lasers it does not change the fact that unless you also use 3 x DLP chips you must strobe the colours, this also cuts down the brightness.
We're sure Laser TV (or should we say DLP TV with a laser light source) will arrive but what are the drawbacks? It's been our experience that one size never fits all.
