Sony Corporation - The Blu-ray Optical disc Format
Time: Tuesday Jun 20, 2006
Place: Tokyo, Japan
Details: Sony was one of the leading developers of the Blu-ray optical disc format, the newest standard for disc-based content delivery. The first Blu-ray players became commercially available in 2006. The format emerged as the standard for HD media over the competing format, Toshiba's HD DVD, after a two-year-long high-definition optical disc format war.
