Benq Europe has announced
the production of the Black CD Tray, which should improve reading and
writing of BenQ drives. Earlier other companies introduced black trays that
should have a positive impact on the reflectivity of the laser. Benq has posted
the following technical information on their website that explains this
feature:
 In
Optical Storage device such as CD ROM, DVD ROM, CDRW, DVD RW, the reading
and writing are performed via signals generated by a laser. For a disk to
be read or written, the laser is required to perform as accurately as
possible - anything that detracts from this will distort the performance
and quality of a disk. When light from the laser hits the disk, it can be
reflected, transmitted or absorbed. As one of the major components
of a drive, the tray - so often manufactured in white or grey - becomes a
critical part of the device performance. Its ability to absorb reflected,
disordered light is crucial to the reading and writing and white or grey
CD trays are less competent in this area.
BenQ's Black CD Tray absorbs 90% of any
disordered light reflected by the laser, securing the accuracy of the
laser signal and enhancing the reading, writing and enjoyment of
data. |
