Toshiba Makes 15GB DVD With New Laser

November 3, 1997 (TOKYO) -- Toshiba Corp. is
developing a next-generation DVD product that uses a
blue-violet semiconductor laser.

The Tokyo-based electronics company provided details of the R&D
project at the Joint Magneto-Optical Recording International
Symposium and International Symposium on Optical Memory (Joint
MORIS/ISOM '97), which was held recently in Yamagata.

At the international symposium, a Toshiba official delivered a lecture on
trends in optical memory recording density and the entire industry. The
official said that Toshiba is developing a 15GB single-sided DVD with
a data transfer rate of 30Mbps through the use of a GaN-system
blue-violet semiconductor laser. [Note: This is the data rate for HDTV.]

Toshiba's 7.5GB single-sided DVD made on an experimental basis,
and which was unveiled at the company's technology fair held in March
1997, was the first step in a development strategy, and the new DVD
now under development is the second step. The first DVD uses a
blue-green SHG laser.

The company official projected that a single-side DVD with a capacity
of 50GB will appear around 2005.

Unlike in the case of CD standards, the DVD industry will have a
succession of standards as innovative technologies are developed,
according to Toshiba's view.
