Lite-ON IT will make HD-DVD Burners started 1st Quarter 2007

August 23, 2006 by Blu Ray Burner 

Lite-On IT, the largest maker of optical disc drives in Taiwan, on August 18 announced it is developing half-height (H/H) HD-DVD burners, with a volume production target set for March 2007.

Although the company has scheduled production of H/H HD-DVD burners, Lite-On IT appears to retain a neutral attitude between Blu-ray Disc (BD) and HD-DVD.
Lite-On IT maintains close business relations with Sony, a key member of the BD Association, and is an OEM/ODM DVD burner maker for Philips, also a key member of the association, through Philips BenQ Digital Storage (an R&D and marketing joint venture of Philips and BenQ). Mainly in this business context, Lite-On IT started production of H/H BD burners last month.

Toshiba, a key advocate of HD-DVD, has actively touted Taiwanese makers of optical discs and optical disc drives to adopt the standard.
