Sharp Electronics to start manufacturing blue laser diodes
electronics giant Sharp have announced their plans to enter the world of regular diode manufacture.
Since November 2006 they have produced around 150,000 diodes a month, but plan to increase that number to over 500,000 by the end of 2007.
With Sonys recent Playstation 3 production being hampered by insufficient stock of diodes this is definitely a boost for the console production.
Although it s worth keeping in mind that these diodes are also used for HD-DVD so the supply wont be exclusive to the PS3 - but it's definitely a plus.
