Blu-ray breakthrough, low end discs now a possiblity

Pioneer and Mitsubishi have together succeeded in the commercialization of recordable Blu-ray Discs with organic dye in the recording layer. The organic dye means that large-scale investments would no longer be required, so that the current coating facilities for CD-R and DVD-R can be used for BD production lines. With only minor adjustments needed to CD-R and DVD-R production lines, it makes low priced discs a real possibility.

Pioneer Corporation (TSE: 6773) and Mitsubishi Kagaku media Co., Ltd. have together succeeded in the commercialization of recordable Blu-ray Discs (BD-R) with organic dye in the recording layer, and also in developing technology for multiple layered, high speed recording for BD-R with metal nitride in the recording layer.

Both companies had been collaborating to develop BD-R with dye since 2004. With this development, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media was responsible for improving organic dye recording materials and producing sample discs, while Pioneer was responsible for evaluating the samples, as well as disc structure design based on verification and simulations for compatibility with disc drives. The synergy of these two areas of expertise has led to a successful development of the 2X organic dye BD-R.

Since the announcement[1] of the joint development in 2005, Mitsubishi Kagaku Media and Pioneer have also been promoting the standardization of organic dye recording media, and this spring, a recording format (Low to High Type format) for organic dye BD-R has been adopted into the BD-R Format Ver. 1.2[2].
With this standardization, the mass production of organic dye recording media has now become possible with BD-R. Discs with organic dye do not require large-scale investments in facilities so that the current coating facilities for CD-R and DVD-R can be used for BD production lines with only minor adjustments, making low priced discs a possibility.

In short, chances are PS3 games will be a little cheaper & affordable. if all goes well :mrgreen:

Actually Bluray discs are already out in the market. even the recordable types. Just recently, we bought a couple of single layer and double layer BD discs from a loca store here in the Philippines and it costs more than a thousand for one movie.

Looking on the hardware side, BD drives are still not that mature. Universal drives (CD, DVD, Bluray, HD-DVD compatible) are still in its early stage.

Yes, I agree as to the low cost BD discs hitting the market soon. Im just wondering that when this happens, we could see a 200-in-1 Bluray movie disc being sold in streets. Tanang salida sa sinihan sa tibuok tuig compiled in one Bluray disc. Nice!!!
