Corning Completes Development Milestone in Green Laser Technology.Successful integration of company's green laser with projection module prompts prototype availability CORNING, N.Y. -- Corning Incorporated (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :GLW GLW Glasgow Airport (UK) GLW Gross Laden Weight GLW Good Lady Wife (Australia) ) announced today that it will make available green laser prototypes to potential projection module customers for form, fit, function, and performance evaluation throughout 2007. Corning reached this decision following a successful integration of a green laser prototype - small enough for use in mobile consumer electronics - into a functioning integrated photonics module (IPM (1) (Impressions Per Minute) Generally refers to document scanners that scan both sides of the page at the same time. Thus, a scanner that scans at 100 ppm (pages per minute) can provide 200 ipm. See ppm and document scanner.

Achieving successful integration of Corning's green laser prototype into a projection module is an important milestone in the development cycle of this crucial technology that enables portable micro-projection display. Use of Corning's compact, efficient, high-speed and powerful green laser enables full motion, full color video images at SVGA (Super VGA) A screen resolution of 800x600 pixels. Third-party vendors extended IBM's VGA display standard and were the first to use the term. SVGA has also referred to 1,024x768 resolutions. See PC display modes. resolution. "With the rapid growth and diversity of mobile, hand-held electronic devices there is an exciting opportunity for compact projection technology to enable entirely new viewing experiences," said David Charlton, division vice president and director, New Business Development, Corning Science and Technology. "We are very pleased with the results achieved in applying Corning's extensive experience in high-power lasers and optical physics to the development of this critical component enabling projection technology."
