The Majority of Manufacturers Believe That There Will Not Be A Strong Market Growth for Blu-Ray until 2009 - Global Optical Storage Industry Report, 2006-2007.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c49597) has announced the addition of Global Optical Storage Industry Report, 2006-2007 to their offering Globally, the four Optical Driver giants are HLDS HLDS Half-Life Dedicated Server (HITACHI-LG Data Storage Hitachi-LG Data Storage is a joint venture between Hitachi and the LG group to make optical data storage devices such as CD and DVD drives. Their drives often start with the brand "HL-DT-ST" (Hitachi-LG DaTa STorage) External link Hitachi-LG Data Storage web site ), TSST TSST Toxic Shock Syndrome Toxin TSST Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology TSST Trier Social Stress Task TSST Tron Superspeed Tunnel (Disneyland) TSST Time Sensitive Surface Target TSST Total Ships Survivability Testing (Toshiba Samsung Storage Technology), Sony NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. and LiteOn. LiteOn might top the world after obtaining the orders of PBDS PBDS Parti Bangsa Dayak Sarawak (Malaysia) PBDS Performance Based Development System PBDS Post Boost Detection System PBDS Professional and Broadcast Digital Systems (London, UK) in 2007. Besides, other companies have to struggle for survival under the big pressure from those large counterparts, but Panasonic is an exception. Panasonic enjoys patents on in-dash optical driver, which was widely applied in car audio system and high-end laptops. Panasonic has shared over 90% of in-dash optical driver market. Even with an annual shipment of 10 million units, ASUS ASUS Arts and Science Undergraduate Society (Queen's University) ASUS Air Support Squadron (USAF) ASUS Annual Support & Update Service ASUS Administrative Support/Utilization still lags far behind the worlds top three manufacturers, particularly after BenQs Optical Driver department incorporated into LiteO. It is quite difficult for ASUS to compete with those large companies under the scale-economy effects. Moreover, as the patent authorization is unable to be supported by those big international manufacturers, this makes ASUS impossible to compete with those counterparts in cost. Others, like TEAC, have been in loss for years and will inevitably be purchased by large counterparts or go bankrupt. The Optical Driver business of Foxconn mainly focuses on OEM services of Sony PS3. Foxconn is making great efforts in the development of Blu-ray DVD DVD: see digital versatile disc.

The DVD represents the second generation of compact-disc (CD) technology. driver, leaving the cost unconsidered un·con·sid·ered adj. Not reasoned or considered; rash: an unconsidered remark. Adj. 1. unconsidered . With regard to Blu-ray and HD DVD, it is widely acknowledged that Blue-ray will be the development trend in spite of HD DVD being presently supported by most manufacturers. On account of low price, HD DVD also sells very well in America. Yet, some manufacturers hold HD DVD as the transitional product, and they invest a lot into the R&D of Blu-ray driver. Since the instability occurred to Sonys Blu-ray driver PS3, the shipment has been delayed several times, which led to the wait-and-see attitudes from most manufacturers. Besides, the high cost of Blu-ray also hampers the development of Blu-ray. The majority of manufacturers believe that there will not be a strong market growth for Blu-ray until 2009. And HD DVD will still be the mainstream in the market during 2007-2009. Content Outline: 1. Development Course of Optical Storage Industry 2. Optical Driver Manufacturers 3.
