Texas Instruments Develops Projectors For Mobile Phones

Texas Instruments demonstrated a prototype of a DLP pico-projector small enough to fit on your finger tips at CTIA Wireless 2007.

DLP pico-projectors, either as standalone projector or as an integrated component in mobile devices, will provide consumers and business professionals with the flexibility to share video and graphic content in a larger way.



The DLP pico-prototype further advances TI's mobile projection technology, building on the 2006 introduction of DLP-based pocket projectors. These products are in the market today from manufacturers, including Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Toshiba. Pacific Media Associates (PMA), a global research firm, expects this pocket projector category to grow to more than 1M units by 2010. TI demonstrated the viewing experience advantage of showing mobile phone content on a pocket projector in January 2007. The introduction of the pico- projector capabilities will provide manufacturers and end-users even more options on how they can view and share information and content.
