What’s next from HD-DVD and Blu-ray?
May 20th 2006 05:27
NTT Basic Research Laboratories from Japan, has developed a new ultraviolet LED technology. This is the first light emitting diode capable of producing deep ultraviolet light. The commercial applications of this new development can be focused in the optical data storage industry challenging the DVD, Blu-ray and HD-DVD standards (yep, another player in this crowded market).
The light emitted will have 210nm wavelength. The UV LEDs were created by doping Aluminium Nitride with silicon. The narrow wavelength allows big optical storage capacity due to pits packed much closer to each other.
Another applications can be found in TV’s like HL-S5679W 56-inch DLP TV from Samsung and in car accessories like in the new Lexus LS 600h L (LED headlight system).
The technology is environmental friendly since LED beams do not use harmful gases or require as much energy as the traditional DVD devices. Historically UV radiation is produced by mercury lamps or lasers, but now with this development the risk of environmental damage can be reduced.
