Mitsubishi's laser projection RPTV
Oh, go ahead and throw out that DLP bulb that burned out early, why don't you. Mitsubishi might make that expensive bulb obsolete by developing the first rear-projection television that uses a laser as its primary light source.
According to the company, the laser can be split into red, blue and green colors in a way that provides up to 1.8 times more color variety than current LCDs in a package no deeper than current RPTVs in the Mitsubishi line, which is about 26-centimeters. Actually, you'll need that bulb for another two years, so go dig it out of the trash; the company figures it will take a solid two years before the manufacturing process is cost feasible. We're OK with the wait; it gives them time to figure out how to split off some of the blue portion of the laser for built-in next-gen DVD integration, right?
