Laser TV

I thought this was pretty cool:

The basic idea is simple: you put three lasers inside the TV (one red, one green and one blue) and then scan the beams across a rear-projection screen using mirrors. By scanning fast enough you eliminate flicker. The lasers are so bright that you get a great image.

The advantages include:

1) Brighter, better saturated picture, even at large sizes.

2) Wider color range and very precise colors

3) Better energy efficiency at large screen sizes - perhaps half the power of an LCD, even better compared to plasma.

4) Long life, since lasers don’t degrade.

5) Large screen sizes at relatively low cost.

6) 3-D capable because of high scan rates.

7) Thin screens compared to other rear-projection technologies

The video predicted that we would see laser TVs in about 18 months. And here they are, shown in a public demo yesterday:
