Taiwan unveils their own Blue laser pick up head

Looks like the Taiwanese Opto-Electronics & Systems lab (OES) has let it slip that they know a thing or two about Blue lasers too! They had the pleasure to introduce Taiwan's first self-developed blue-laser DVD pick-up head at a press conference in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

The blue-laser DVD PUH conforms to the HD-DVD standard, the next-generation blue-laser DVD format developed by Toshiba and NEC, and will be initially used in read only DVD drives, according to OES deputy director Der-ray Huang.

OES will offer the PUH to interested local IC design houses and makers of optical discs for developing and testing of blue-laser DVD products, Huang said. Blue-laser DVD products are expected to become commercial in two or three years, according to Huang.

What do you think this means for the Blu-ray format? Is this a good deal for future of Blu-ray?
