China Developing Blu-ray Format
China is developing its own Blu-ray format. The CBHD (China Blue High-Definition) uses a blue laser and its light has a shorter wavelength than red ones. However, it has a physical structure that is similar to a DVD. With the same thickness, there is a 1.1mm disc under a 0.1mm protective layer, meaning that DVD makers could upgrade and produce discs for the new format.
About 10 million HD-ready TVs were sold in China last year, but most cannot afford to use the technology. Be that as it may, over 100 titles will be available by the end of the year and players are now on sale with prices starting at 2,000 yuan (~$293.00.)
