Sharp has announced that it has started commercial production of blue laser diodes. Currently the company is cranking out 150,000 units a month with a target of 500,000 a month by the end of 2007.

The diodes can be used in DVD players based on the Blu-ray format, championed by Sony, as well as competing HD DVD technology, promoted by Toshiba. Sharp, which is entering the market dominated by Sony and unlisted Nichia, plans to bring the monthly capacity to 500,000 units by the end of 2007, spending several billion yen.

And drive prices lower so the consumers win in the end :) I won't bother with BD/HD DVD till there is a winner and a burner cost less than 150$.
