Embedded Mobile Projectors Just Around the Corner
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 01:00 PM
"A South Korean company developed a coin-size laser video projector module that can fit into portable gadgets such as mobile phones and digital cameras. Iljin Display [on] Thursday demonstrated various prototypes of mini-size projectors, which use its Single LCD Panel technology. Using the technology, users can project photos and video images on the wall from the built-in projector, making a seven-inch, full-color screen."

Iljin Display expects mass production of these mini-projectors by the end of 2006, with implementation in cell phones, PDAs, digital cameras, and notebooks by April 2007 (both Samsung and LG appear to be backing the plan). With a 7" output, it's definitely no Axim X50v/X51v + VGA-out replacement, but as far as portability and ease of use is concerned, it doesn't look too bad.
