Mitsubishi to launch its new “LaserVue”

Mitsubishi launched a new category of televisions having a large format with a revolutionary laser technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2008. The company has now announced the brand name of its latest Laser TV gazette as LaserVue. LaserVue promises to deliver a wide array of colours never before seen in home entertainment with its new laser powered technology. This extremely high laser technology guarantees an unparalleled precision and focus with the ultimate purity of laser light. At present, the best that was offered was not more than 40% of the colour spectrum that can be seen with an eye. Now with the laser technology, the target is to double this spectrum level. Laser technology in television viewing is set to provide the most extensive and real time colour variety along with clarity and depth of field. Read more

The future of television is laser

 

This year the buzz around new television technology has certainly been with laser technology. It’s expected that the advances in laser technology will eventually replace LCD and plasma equivalents; today we take a brief look at the advantages of laser over standard flat panel televisions.

Lasers deliver the best possible quality of image, the colours are more accurate than the LCD/plasma technologies, and have a greater depth. Instead of using lamps to deliver the RGB colours, lasers are used, up until now this technology hasn’t been able to be utilised in televisions. This new technology not only gives more accurate and vibrant colour quality but it also delivers the image to the screen at a much quicker rate than LCD and plasma can.

The other big advantage that lasers will take into the market is their lasting quality, unlike LCD and plasma, lasers won’t fade, so the same bright quality you receive on day one of buying your new television you’ll be receiving in 5 or 10 years time. Laser TV’s will be of a similar thickness to current technologies, and smaller sets are expected to be of a similar weight, whilst larger equivalents are expected to be upto 30% lighter.

With all this new technology the expectation is that the price of laser will be far higher than LCD/plasma, fortunately this isnt’ the case, it’s expected that the prices will be comparable, as the cost of manufacture for laser is actually lower than plasma. 

Mitsubishi are the first manufacturer to bring the new technology to market, with their LaserVue range, their claiming that LaserVue offers twice the colour range of any other display at almost half the power, so a very energy efficient solution. No other manufacturer has been able to bring the colour wavelength technology to a finished product. Look out for the LaserVue range and other manufacturers bringing laser televisions to the market in 2009.
