Phone to Carry Video Projector
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, reports The Korea Times.
"Iljin Display 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.
"About a half of mobile phones sold these days are equipped with a digital camera. In the future we expect many mobile phones will have built-in projectors too,’’ said Park Seung-gwon, CEO of Iljin Display, during a press conference in Seoul on Thursday.
... The company expected the projector-embedded mobile phones will hit the market from next April, as it has been already co-operating with Korean handset manufacturers such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics since December."
