  Projectors In Mobile Phones On Show At CES 2008

By David Richards | Monday | 2007-12-17

Displaytech, a leading supplier of liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) microdisplays, has announced that it is supplying product to 13 companies that are developing ultra small image projectors that can be either embedded in or attached as an accessory to personal consumer electronics. The devices will go on show at the CES Expo in Las Vegas.

The 13 companies include well known projection optics companies and major consumer electronic companies, who sell and manufacture Cell Phones, PDAs, Digital Cameras, Stand Alone Video Projectors and Personal Media Players. The companies are located in Asia, Europe and the US.

The proprietary Displaytech Ferroelectric-LCOS (FLCOS) microdisplays have been selected by these companies to develop ultra small projectors because of their unique characteristics like: small size, only 11.5mm in height; low power, less than 100mW for the FLCOS panel and integrated display controller; and efficient use of LEDs as the light source, thus avoiding the difficult problem of image speckle that comes when lasers are used as a light source.

Prototype projectors small enough to be embedded into cell phones are being shown to major consumer electronic companies. Displaytech expects a number of ultra small projectors containing its FLCOS panels to be demonstrated at CES in January 2008. Ultra small projectors will be demonstrated with image resolutions of VGA and SVGA.
