Panasonic Develops the World's Thinnest Blu-ray Disc Drive
Panasonic today revealed the development of the world's thinnest (9.5 mm height) internal Blu-ray drives. The firm made such a thin drive by using couple of exclusive technologies such as spherical aberration compensation mechanism, 2-lens actuator, low-profile and an optimized optical design for CD, DVD and Blu-ray disc laser. It is targeted towards mobile computers and features 2x BD-R or BD-RE read/write speed. The drive also supports reading and writing on dual layer Blu-ray 50GB discs and upcoming low-cost, organic dye discs. The slim Blu-Ray burner also sports full legacy burning support and writes a single-layer DVD at 8x. Panasonic will display the Blu-ray drive at CES 2008 in January.
