Microvision unveils tiny projector for mobile devices: “

Filed under: ,

There are monstrous projectors, run-of-the-mill renditions, small versions, and then there’s ridiculously tiny ones, but we’ve got love for ‘em all. It looks like Microvision tends to favor the diminutive kind, however, as the company is looking to showcase its ‘ultrathin, miniature full-color projection display’ at next week’s CES. Hoping to cram this bad boy into your next mobile phone, PDA, or other handheld gizmo, the firm is touting its incredibly small form factor as the next coming of mobile displays. Taking up the same amount of space as Apple’s 2G Shuffle, the display can project ‘extremely sharp and vivid’ imagery onto walls, bodies, screens, or skyscrapers, with a maximum image size ’similar to a big screen plasma TV.’ Sure, we’re fully aware of the sensationalism they’re tossing in, but this type of development could refine mobile video and the ability to view it on a decent sized screen, so hopefully we’ll catch a glimpse of this miniscule PJ in just a few days.
