3 watts Blue, 3 watts green, 750 mW red so far so good.

I can see a 52in box under my christmas tree next year :lol:, well, maybe in 2008

Here is some details : http://www.novalux.com/assets/downlo...rrays_Apps.pdf

Novalux's prototype Necsel devices emit 3 W at 465 nm and 532 nm and 750nbsp;mW at 620 nm - all from a new package smaller than a matchbox.

Manufacturing cost for all three colors with a total of three watts of red, blue and green has been determined to be significantly less than $80 in quantities of about one million units per year

[jkaiser3000]

WOW, less than $80? Now I can definitely see an RGB system in my future :P

and now the good question, how do they make 465nm and 620nm? What crystals are they using, if any?

[sbk]

Wait, 80$ if you buy 1'000'000 pieces :?

The wavelength are different than standard DPSS just because these lasers are diode lasers... Some sorts of vertical emitting diodes, which have very good beam properties, like round beam...

I imagine to have a projector in my cell phone in 10 years with this technology

Wait, 80$ if you buy 1'000'000 pieces

I think they meant $80 if they can produce 1.000.000 units a year. We don't actually need to purchase all those units, thankfully :P .

Once they start producing them in sufficient quantities, there sure will be some left for the aftermarket. Meaning us

I saw this on the internet the other day:

Might becoming realistic soon, it seems.

Hmmmm, Now that changes a LOT of things!

[liteglow]

can someone tell me what is going on here ?

I never heard about laser tv the past months..
And SUDDENLY they gonna sell the TV NEXT YEAR???

When plasma was introduced, you did know 3 year before you ever did get one!! the same with LCD!

But there is something I dont understand here..
3WATT of blue ???
Is`nt that way overkill to use inside a small TV when 100mW burn plastic!!

And how do they manage to produce 3Watt blue\green so small?
When you only can find expencive poor 50-200mW blue lasers on the marked today....??

The same with green... a 3Watt is not "small" ...


And the last question, can you ripp out this 3Watt blue\3Watt green\and almost 1Watt red and use it for a personal RGB laser with galvo ??

I`m confused..
