QUOTE said:Mitsubishi Electric Corp developed the "Laser Backlight LCD TV," which uses laser diodes for part of its backlight source, and prototyped a 46-inch TV.
Its backlight unit includes two types of light sources: red laser diode and cyan LED. Compared with Mitsubishi Electric's existing LCD TVs, which use white LEDs for backlight, the color gamut of the new TV is about 1.3 times wider. It is a 126% color gamut on NTSC standards.
"Especially, the vividness of red color has drastically improved," the company said.
Mitsubishi Electric has already commercialized a rear projection TV using RGB color lasers (See related article). This time, the company used only the red color laser.
"We took costs into consideration for commercialization," it said. "And we found that the red color laser is more effective than the other lasers."

Well I gave a loud WTF when I read this
Lasers for TV? It sounds pretty good to me especially since they can build large screens with it opposed to OLED
