What is Blu-ray Disc?
 The Blu-ray Disc is a technology platform that can store sound and video
while maintaining high quality and also access the stored content in an
easy-touse way.
 This will be important in the coming broadband era as content distribution

becomes increasingly diversified.
 The nine companies involved in the announcement will respectively

develop products that take full advantage of Blu-ray Disc's large capacity
and high-speed data transfer rate.
 They are also aiming to further enhance the appeal of the new format
through developing a larger capacity, such as over 30GB on a single sided
single layer disc and over 50GB on a single sided double layer disc.
Adoption of the Blu-ray Disc in a variety of applications including PC data
storage and high definition video

How does Blu-ray disc work?
1. Using double infrared frequency to create the

wavelength for blue light.
2. A blue laser operates in the blue range of the light

spectrum, ranging from about 405nm to 470nm.
3. Most blue laser diodes use indium gallium nitride as the

material to create the laser light.
How does Blu-ray disc work?
4. Blue laser beams have a smaller spot size and are more
precise than red laser beams, which lets data on blue
laser optical storage discs be stored more densely.
5. The spot size of a laser beam is one determining factor, along

with the materials in the optical disc and the way the laser is
applied to the disc, in the size of the pits the laser makes on an
optical disc.
6. Laser beams with larger spot sizes typically create larger pits
than those with smaller pit sizes.
Recording Format
 Like the DVD, the Blu-ray disc uses phase
change recording. This must be good news for
those who plan to make the new format
compatible with its wildly popular
predecessor. This recording format will also
makes a two-sided disc easily realizable
because both writing and reading can be
executed by a single pickup.
Main Features Of Logical Format
 Highly compatible with digital broadcasting :
MPEG2 transport stream compression technology for video recording can
record digital broadcasting including HDTV while maintaining its original
picture quality.
 Best data structure for disc recording

Achieving improvement of searching, easy editing functions and play a list
playback functions by adapting logical data structure making the best use
of random accessing.
 File system for HDTV real time recording

Adapting the file system which can achieve high bit rate recording and
playback of HDTV and best use of disc space.
