ARR - Arasor International

having said that, i guess it could be QPC, first order I know of for lasers for TV.
The competition for the green laser market as far as I know now includes QPC, Corning, Osram and Arasor.

Better add Cyco and Coherent to that list as well.
Spoke to Scott Wilkie the other day:
quick overview.
nothing concete on some of the issues as expected due to nondisclosure etc.
Talks with a number of TV companies, none want to be named.
Ability for mass production a benefit over industrial laser coys and this should be realised when the manufacture of laser tv increases, I'm guessing probably next year. (I'm guessing they're cheaper mass prod'n because of the lithium niobate process, w/ever that is lol)
Pirelli did not want numbers on the contract announcement.
Difficulty getting small enough to fit into mobiles due to the green laser, but that is the main game when compared to PicoP projectors. ZTEI JV looking to have them built into laptops and mobiles. Battery life of mobiles a problem and with current battery technology mobiles will have to be plugged in to USB.
Looking forward to developments in cinema projection in the coming months(Aug/Sept maybe).

Mistsubishi LaserVue still seems on track for 3rd quarter release:

As far as I can find out it is Arasor that will supply the lasers to Mitsubishi, but Mitsubishi does not name its suppliers and I assume Arasor has a non-disclosure. We need someone to open a LaserVue when it comes on the market.

With the large screen sizes (65") I think the initial volumes will be small.

with the announcement of 2 days ago Im giving up on them being in the laservue, hopefully when they can get mass production together they can make an impact on the tv sector.

I think this one might have gone bust. None of the signs are looking good

It has been looking fairly sickly for a while now - it's down more than 95% in a year. Depends how deep the pockets of the Chairman are and how much they can recover those doubtful debts from India. Even if they survive I wouldn't expect a rapid recovery to previous levels though.

Bought in at 0.37 now its 0.05.. hope they can get their act together I thought they sounded promising.
