Lite-On IT to Produce 20x DVD Burner in 4Q

Lite-On IT will reportedly start volume production of 18x DVD burners in July and plans to start production of 20x DVD burners in the fourth quarter of this year.

The information seems to be official according to Digitimes.com, citing Michael Gong, the company's Optical Disc Drive Business general manager.

As OEM prices of 16x DVD burners drop further due to intense competition, the switch to production of more profitable 18x and 20x DVD burners is aimed at keeping overall gross margins from falling, Gong indicated.

LiteOn is expected to further compete with Samsung in the OEM DVD drives in the following months, since it is currently receiving orders to make drives for Sony NEC Optiarc and BenQ.

Lite-On IT will also kick off volume production of Blu-ray Disc (BD) and HD-DVD optical drives in August. However, the two blue-laser product lines will not become mainstream until 2008 due to their high prices so thus Lite-On IT will remained focused on DVD burners over the next two years, Gong pointed out. Sources related to LiteOn also indicate that the company may also launch a combo Blu-ray and HD DVD drive in the future.

Q4要出20X的DVD ReWriter...= =
空片還沒Ready吧...

未來Samsung、Sony、NEC、BenQ都由LiteOn製造(設計不一定)
這也是TSST改用MediaTek晶片的原因嗎?

阿！被lightwing大大搶了主題post.....:D

不過我想空片應該了不起用16x media.....就算是之後可能出現的18x、20x media(如果可能出現的話)，充其量搞不好也只是16x的製程，通過18x、20x的試驗後，直接打上18x、20x來賣。

所以我個人是認為，空片方面不是問題，只是認證要不要、過不過而已。

照規格優劣而言，DVD+R比較容易達成這樣的升級....DVD-R的18x、20x片恐怕就有點難度。

染料寫入的問題是還好啦(就DVD+R來說)
不過記得壓克力的可承受旋轉速度不是已經快到極限了?
(所以CD-R只到52X的原因...)
18X還可以
20X....要在基板作改良吧!?(未來20X都是超硬嗎?)

碟片的售價可能也會比較高吧
最後那16~20倍真的有必要嗎
又是一個噱頭 速度感

噱頭？！ :laugh:

那第一個被公幹的應該是Plextor......:D

Lite-on自己的理由寫得很清楚，
「As OEM prices of 16x DVD burners drop further due to intense competition, the switch to production of more profitable 18x and 20x DVD burners is aimed at keeping overall gross margins from falling, Gong indicated. 」

標榜的速度當然越快越好 不見的用的到或是有實用價值

但是最起碼花差不多的錢 買到的是 更進步的改良技術 或是新技術

廠商的競速行為稱的上是一種良性

總比在舊規格上打轉 出新的型號 卻要花更多的錢 性能還下降的產品來的好

總之等上市 評測網站拆機/測試 就可以知道了

可以預想 點燈有了 新技術導入(來自BENQ) 品質跟功能會是向上滴

哦?來個20X CLV如何?
燒錄機變成吸塵器...

還是像KenWood的光碟機一樣用多個讀取頭...
燒錄機也來多個寫入雷射好了

KenWood那台以販售版商品而言，根本是失敗作。 :laugh:
