Texas Instruments is demonstrating
a prototype DLP pico-projector for use with cell phones and mobile devices. The projector itself is small enough to sit on your fingertip. This prototype is capable of displaying an image about the size of a sheet of paper (8.5x11-inches) in ambient light conditions. The DLP being demonstrated has a HVGA (640x240) resolution, the company indicated. This is two times the resolution of a typical mobile phone screen. According to
a CNET report the projector contains three lasers, a DLP chip and a power
supply and measures about 1.5-inches in length. With the projector, the mobile
phone can beam DVD-quality video onto a screen or a wall, CNET wrote, adding
that the chip inside the phone could drive images for a widescreen TV.
