Mini Handheld Digital Projector
by DJ Neawedde | 18th September 2006
Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany have developed an extremely small video projector. Instead of the conventional microarrays, it contains just a single mirror which can be rotated around two axes. This makes it smaller, lighter and handier than traditional.
It would be very cool to see these mini digital projectors integrated into mobile devices such as laptops, PDAs and mobile phones. Fraunhofer Institute via Primidi.com

[…] Mini projectors are definitely the future of mobile devices, no argument there. This one is from the Fraunhofer Institute, another from Texas Instruments, and the famous Microvision PicoP. And now Epson and Philips are making their smart move into this ’soon-to-be-trend’ of mobile device manufacturers. The 0.47-inch 3LCD panel is will project an 800 x 600 pixel image with the help of Philips’ 1.7 x 2.5-inch Ujoy lamp and 2.8 x 1.4 x 1-inch driver. Apparently this is available immediately for any OEMs. Press Release [Epson.jp] via DigiTimes Technorati Tags: Displays, mobile Related Posts CES 2007: Microvision unveiling Pico ProjectorEpson Endeavor ST100 mini PCMini Handheld Digital ProjectorTI mini DLP projector for your mobileLive shots of Microvision PicoPLG Philips unveils slimmest LCD ever Subscribe […]
