CTXV completes world's first green virtual laser keyboard

BOCA RATON, USA: CTXV, a technology company that manufactures and distributes mobile telecommunication, virtual imaging, touch screens and tablets, announced the completion of the world's first virtual keyboard using green laser.

CTX has developed the world's first true green virtual laser keyboard in an extremely small form factor the size of a matchbox allowing over two hours of continuous usage per charge.

CTX has successfully developed the next generation true green laser diodes. Green laser diodes have until now been generated by converting the wavelength of infrared laser light from a light source using optical materials, but the light source is large and expensive.

In addition, the conventional green lasers have difficulties achieving sufficient luminosity as their performance is limited to low output power. By introducing new techniques and improving the entire semiconductor laser production process, including structural design, crystal growth, wafer processing, and electrode configuration.

CTX has been able to successfully develop true green semiconductor laser with an optical output power of more than 50 milliwatts at a wavelength of 520 nanometers. This true green semiconductor laser diode is highly reliable and up to three times brighter than the currently utilized red keyboard projections.

CTX has successfully packaged and created specialized diffractive optics to work with this new diode and will display the first prototypes at the CES 2014 with consumer production expected to start in the first quarter of 2014.

"This is another critical milestone in our R&D efforts to create unique and innovative technology. We fully expect to incorporate the new green laser diodes to all of our current products that have virtual input functionalities including VK200, MISEETX and VK300 to name a few. A special recognition goes to our CTO David Lithwick and his Taiwan based optical engineers who have worked on this project for the past two years;" said Clifford Rhee, CTX president and CEO.
