Cebit 2002 - TOSHIBA

Blue Laser Optical Disc Recorder

Toshiba demonstrated the next generation large-capacity (30GB/side) optical disk recording system utilizing Blue Laser. The main advantages of this technology is the capability of recording 3 hours of HD motion pictures as well as the easiness of usage in both PC and AV applications. The wavelength of Blue Laser diode is 405 nm and the media track structure is the original Land and Groove format. The drive you see below is a prototype and you will possibly see the first drives in the market by the end of 2004.

TOSHIBA presented also internal DVD-ROM, CD-RW and desktop combo recorders.
