 | | In this article, HowStuffWorks explains how the Blu-ray disc works and how it was developed, and we'll see how it stacks up against some other new digital video formats on the horizon. |
 | | The Blu-ray name is a combination of "blue," for the color of the laser that is used, and "ray," for optical ray. |
 | | The "e" in "blue" was purposefully left off, according to the manufacturers, because an everyday word cannot be trademarked. |
