Laser tech to kill plasma and LCD TVs

AN AUSSIE outfit is flogging technology that will enable a laser television to be built which it thinks will kill off plasma technology.

Arasor International, which is a partner of Novalux, claimed its laser technology is half the price, twice as good, and uses a quarter of the electricity of conventional plasma TVs. The technology has been flogged to Mitsubishi and Samsung and will hit the shops in time for Christmas next year, Arasor says.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, conventional screens contain only 30-35 per cent of the colours that the eye can see. The laser tellies can manage 90 per cent.

Pelaprat said that LCD TVs will dominate the market below 40 inches, and laser television will rule the market above that screen size.
