QPC Lasers, Inc. “QPC,” a maker and developer of high power semiconductor chip-based lasers, reported that it has successfully met the performance requirements for red, blue, and green lasers related to its recently announced $12 million laser TV contract. The company noted that it had thereby completed the technology development phase of the contract with an unnamed major Asian manufacturer of consumer electronics. According to the contract, QPC will be the exclusive laser supplier over the next three years for $11 million. The contract reportedly carries a potential value of up to $230 million over the 10 year term of the contract. QPC previously demonstrated its green laser technology based on frequency doubling of its proprietary BrightLase single-mode laser technology in Sept. 2007. At the time, the company boasted of continuous wave and peak conversion efficiencies of greater than 50 percent.
“QPC is enabling a new generation of lower cost and dramatically improved high definition large screen televisions by replacing today’s poor quality light sources with our bright, power efficient, cost effective and ultra compact lasers,” said QPC co-founder and CEO Dr. Jeffrey Ungar. “Utilizing QPC’s unique laser technology instead of LEDs, OLEDs and other poor quality and inefficient light beam sources, consumers will see a broader visible color spectrum, and a sharper, brighter, more vivid image than today’s LCD or Plasmas can offer,” continued Dr. Ungar. Ungar also indicated that a variety of projection displays and ultra-portable projectors for cell phones and laptops could benefit from the technology
