Arasor will be making laser TVs under the JV with ZTE so perhaps less likely they will be supplying other manufacturers anyway.....
Dr . Simon Cao, CEO of Arasor , states “ I am very excited about this joint venture and believe that it will accelerate the deployment of laser based display applications, starting with televisions and projectors and eventually to all forms of cellular phones. Further , partnering with ZTE and the China Development Bank will provide all of the necessary commercial and financial support required to complete the supply chain and ensure the accelerated penetration of laser displays into the global markets. As the largest provider of mobile handsets in china, ZTE make the perfect cornerstone customer for the JV. The investment of USD$300M plus technology, people and other resources is a massive demonstration of the commitment of ZTE and the China Development Bank to securing the next generation of the consumer electronics industry. It is also a validation of Arasor ’s proprietary optical chip technology. The potential growth that we envision from these applications can be a company transforming event for Arasor ” he concluded.
