As sales of movies on Blu-ray disc (BD) media is approaching 1.5 billion units and sales of Blu-ray disc playback capable equipment exceeded 115 million, developers of the technology will be honored with the 62nd annual technology & engineering Emmy award during the 2011 consumer electronics show (CES) for their contributions to the blue laser optical systems for consumer playback.

Today, the Blu-ray disc format is used by millions of consumers worldwide to watch their favorite feature films in high-definition quality. Since its introduction in 2006, over 1.4 billion Blu-ray pre-recorded discs, 188 million Blu-ray recordable/rewritable discs, 50 million Blu-ray players and recorders, 41 million PlayStation 3 game consoles and over 25 million Blu-ray PC readers and writers have been produced.
You will notice that none of these Blu-Ray capable devices have an Apple logo on them? Innovation, eh?
