Opnext, Inc., a global leader in state-of-the-art laser technology, today announced the availability of the HL6387TG laser diode for use in miniature display applications. This new laser diode expands Opnext's addressable market by accelerating the company's entry into the miniature display market. The new diode can be built into miniature display systems, including those in personal computers, mobile phones and other mobile devices, making it possible to get an image of information anytime, anywhere.
“Opnext is dedicated to developing cutting-edge products to meet the latest market needs, such as the miniature display market,” said Tadayuki Kanno, senior vice president Device Business Unit, Opnext. “With this new product, we are truly improving the consumer experience by providing better color reproducibility on a cell phone or other portable device, and helping our customers to meet consumer demand for new applications in the miniature display market.”
This 3.8mm small packaged laser diode with single longitudinal mode allows for 60mW continuous operation in a 640nm wavelength band. The HL6387TG incorporates a smaller f3.8mm package while still retaining the high reliability of the product. The output power of the laser diode also remains constant despite the decrease in the ratio of the stem area by 50 percent. The wavelength band of the red area is 642nm which is optimal for red light display. The single longitudinal mode also enables higher resolution of displayed images by focusing laser light into a small spot.
