GLW News Corning Completes Development Milestone in Green Laser Technology
CORNING, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Corning Incorporated (NYSE:GLW) announced today that it will make
available green laser prototypes to potential projection module
customers for form, fit, function, and performance evaluation throughout
2007.
Corning reached this decision following a successful integration of a
green laser prototype – small enough for use
in mobile consumer electronics – into a
functioning integrated photonics module (IPM™)
which is being demonstrated by Microvision (NASDAQ:MVIS), at the
Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nev. this week.
Achieving successful integration of Corning’s
green laser prototype into a projection module is an important milestone
in the development cycle of this crucial technology that enables
portable micro-projection display. Use of Corning’s
compact, efficient, high-speed and powerful green laser enables full
motion, full color video images at SVGA resolution.
“With the rapid growth and diversity of
mobile, hand-held electronic devices there is an exciting opportunity
for compact projection technology to enable entirely new viewing
experiences,” said David Charlton, division
vice president and director, New Business Development, Corning Science
and Technology. “We are very pleased with the
results achieved in applying Corning’s
extensive experience in high-power lasers and optical physics to the
development of this critical component enabling projection technology.”
