The only issue I have with all of today's articles are that Novalux (/Necsel) seems to be getting the short-end of the attention stick. While I understand that today's PR is centered around the Australian partner's IPO (Arasor), none of the stories I've READ today have included a direct link to the Novalux site (which I STILL believe provides much more information on the technology than ANY of the other related links. I just thought I'd point it out, and give the "Silicon Valley-based" team the URL credit it rightfully deserves.
As a related aside: I was lucky enough to view a working Necsel display in-the-flesh alongside DLP, LCD, and Plasma counterparts at SID 2006 (back in June) and have held Necsel laser components in my own hands, so if you'd like to continue your "density" discussion, I'd rather it were related to the incredible number of individual Necsel lasers that can be "printed" on a single wafer or the color density the display was able to reproduce.
Also, in case you're really interested in this technology, one of the main reasons for the decreased weight and manufacturing costs of laser displays (over DLP and LCD in particular) doesn't seem to be getting much mention...
DLP and LCDs both use high-output lamps, and require lenses, mirrors, and prisms to split the white light into separate (color) wavelengths before recombining them again down the "road". These lamps alone are relatively large and heavy units, and also get EXTREMELY hot, necessitating large (/power-sucking) cooling fans.
Lasers need little to none of this stuff, since they run very cool, and are split into RGB beams from the get go.
In comparison to DLP displays in specific, the Necsel units are also able to do away with both color wheels and "light tunnels".
Anyhow, I though someone might find the background information interesting... I hope it wasn't too "dense".
There is a high probability that they will provide a replacement lamp for all DLP projector, since the technology has been proven to be durable with the exception of the lamp of corse .Makeing laser retro fit for all those 100,000 of DLP unit out there allready.ya think?
Sony's just released a 15.5-inch addition to its VAIO S Series that not only adds a crucial bit of extra display acreage, but also bumps things up to a full 1080p.

BBB: Are you referring to my clarification?
