How Much Is Those Diodes... - Blu-ray Forum

joeorc · 04-30-2007, 02:45 AM

for people who doubt the cost reduction that sony just did..(5) million blu-ray laser diodes for players AT ($8.00 EACH DIODE)..what was the COST of BLU-RAY DIODES FOR 2001...

UPDATE: 06-13-01:
Nichia America is now making directly-injected VIOLET diode lasers at 5 and 30 milliwatts (405nm), and they now have a directly injected BLUE laser diode (5mW at 440nm) with a lifetime of 500 hours. The blue diodes cost $3,000 each, not including driver electronics or beam forming optics. (!)

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 22:40:40.0: that is from a diode for a laser pointer..now imagine what the diode would cost for something like a DVD player

Jack Thompson responds on 2007-04-29 22:47:02.0: Information from 2001? WTF laser pointers :S. Dude just leave x_x

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 22:57:12.0: laser optics..did you not read ...the fact is BLUE LASER DIODES WERE VERY EXPENSIVES....405nm blue laser diode...that ring a bell..if you know about optics..you would not say DUDE just leave......

Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars responds on 2007-04-29 22:59:28.0: joeorc - you are posting trash. F*ck off.

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 23:00:58.0: realy mister smart mouths...what kind of diodes go into OPTICAL DRIVES...?..DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT...?

Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars responds on 2007-04-29 23:04:02.0: "DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT...? Report inappropriate content" Generally, yes, I stay informed. When I'm not, I shut up, and look around. Take a hint.

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 23:08:08.0: http://ledmuseum.candlepower.us/eighth/blu-ray.htm for the smart mouth people that think they know everything...just shut up...

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 23:36:20.0: http://www.fineartradiography.com/ho...ray/index.html As I stated earlier, it uses a Sony Blu-Ray laser diode that is reported to output 5mW to 7mW of laser radiation at 404-407nm (nominally 405nm) in the violet part of the spectrum. Because it is at the violet end of the spectrum, it will not be as visible mW-per-mW as blue, green, or yellow laser pointers, but the color is absolutely gorgeous, and is very radiant and unusual for a handheld laser. The laser diode was cannibalised from a Sony Play Station 3 optics sled assembly that I purchased on Ebay for $88.03 on 03-22-07 and that I received on 03-31-07. well would you look at that 405 nm Nichia America is now making directly-injected VIOLET diode lasers at 5 and 30 milliwatts (405nm), and they now have a directly injected BLUE laser diode (5mW at 440nm) with a lifetime of 500 hours. The blue diodes cost $3,000 each, not including driver electronics or beam forming optics. (!)

joeorc responds on 2007-04-29 23:43:17.0: But the real laser pointer revolution came about as a result of the development of inexpensive visible laser diodes. Laser diodes are only slightly larger than a grain of sand, run on low voltage low current, and can be mass produced - originally driven by the CD player/CDROM revolution, barcode scanners, and other applications where a compact low cost laser source is needed. Now manufactured by the millions, these laser diodes cost well under $1.

but i mean thats only like being able to watch 250 DVDs. I stopped posting on eproductwars.com. Those people don't even know what they are talking about. Mike HD is one of the sorriest SOBs ive ever seen. I saw your post over there a few hours ago and got what it was right off the bat. Nice Job!

its like that DAVE Chappelle SKIT OF BLACK BUSH...

"UN you have a problem with that you know what you should do, sanction me, sanction me with your army. Oh wait a minute! You don't have an army! I guess that means you need to s.t.f.u!" that's i would do if i didn't have an army...I would S.T.F.U...

Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars responds on 2007-04-30 02:54:11.0: And, I hope that nobody minds that much my starting a new thread that supercedes joeorc's soul searching (and posting) on laser pointers. Like, we got the point, maybe time to move on. Now, some of you may feel the same way about moving beyond that PS3 disaster. Like, talk about something more pleasant. BD sales that are going no-where fast. The 'cheap' forthcoming Death-ray players that well, nobody talks about either (non-existent, there). Oh, yeah, PS3s holding hands are going to save humanity. Sure add to global warming, though. So, just what gives?

my reply:

joeorc responds on 2007-04-30 07:51:43.0: what is funny the people at AVS on the HD-DVD side are laughing at you Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars...not with you..so take it how ever you want.

joeorc responds on 2007-04-30 08:11:35.0: the only thing your post supercedes Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars is the complete Crap post's that you make one right after the other..and since ONCE you KEEP running your big toothless Mouth that you use to pay Lip service to what ever CEO who you will hope will one day make any Cheap HD-DVD player...why don't you go back to doing what you know best and thats just you Mike HD The Pirate of the Format Wars SUCKING in the HD-DVD board rooms

and even more...laser pointer...people don't think much about them now..but guess what here is something...

and in a more ironic twist...the first item sold on EBAY...

EBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar in 1995. Though he's now a billionaire (of course), Pierre started AuctionWeb (as it was then known) as a simple "side hobby." In late '95, Pierre made history when he sold eBay's first item -- a broken laser pointer he had originally bought as a cat toy.
