QPC Lasers Inc. completed the technology development phase of a $12 million contract to manufacturer lasers for use in next-generation high definition televisions. The Sylmar-based company is the exclusive supplier for an Asian manufacturer of consumer electronics. Lasers developed by QPC will replace lower quality light-emitting diode and organic light-emitting diode light beam sources. “Consumers will see a broader visible color spectrum, and a sharper, brighter, more vivid image than today’s [liquid crystal display sets] or Plasmas can offer,” said company CEO Jeffrey Ungar.
