The Opto-Electronics Systems & Laboratories (OES) of the government-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute signed a memorandum of understanding with US-based DPHI (DataPlay) for cooperation to developing miniaturized FVD (mini FVD) products.

The application of the FVD standard is focusing on consumer electronics for the time being and will expand into other IT fields soon, OSE deputy director Der-ray Huang indicated. OSE plans to introduce DataPlay's cutting-the-edge micro-optical storage technology to develop mini FVDs, further extending the use of the format to portable consumer electronics, Huang pointed out.

DataPlay has agreed that the royalty charges for mini FVD products conform to the FVD licensing mechanism to be specified by the Advanced Optical Storage Research Alliance (AOSRA), Huang noted.
