MUMBAI: Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE: TXN) during the 2007 CTIA
Wireless convention will be demonstrating, to select media, a prototype
of a DLP pico-projector small enough to fit on your finger tips.
The latest DLP innovation from the world leader in mobile projection
solutions enables compelling viewing options that expand beyond
the limitations of a physical screen for mobile users of cellular
phones, digital cameras and portable media players.
A DLP pico-projector, either as standalone projector or as an
integrated component in mobile devices, will provide consumers and
business professionals with the flexibility to share video and graphic
content in a larger way.
 The
DLP pico-prototype further advances TI's mobile projection technology,
building on the 2006 introduction of DLP-based pocket projectors.
These products are in the market today from manufacturers, including
Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Toshiba. Pacific Media Associates (PMA),
a global research firm, expects this pocket projector category to
grow to more than 1M units by 2010. TI demonstrated the viewing
experience advantage of showing mobile phone content on a pocket
projector in January 2007. The introduction of the pico-projector
capabilities will provide manufacturers and end-users even more
options on how they can view and share information and content.
"As the leader in home theater and business projection, TI
DLP Products continues to develop new and exciting ways that our
manufacturing customers can apply DLP technology in innovative consumer
products," said Frank J. Moizio, Worldwide Strategic Marketing
and Business Development Manager, TI DLP Front Projection. "Over
the next few years, we envision a large opportunity for the convergence
of projection technology and mobile devices, like cell phones,"
Moizio added.
Now in addition to using TI's world leading OMAP processor technology
for processing video and graphics content, mobile manufacturers
can take advantage of TI DLP pico-projection technology as a new
and enhanced display option in their devices. As the OMAP wireless
application platform has helped revolutionize processing of media
content on mobile devices, DLP pico-projection technology will advance
the viewing experience of mobile devices providing significant improvements
in productivity and entertainment experiences.
Key benefits of DLP projectors include: smoother images with no
"screen door" effect; crisp and clear presentation of
fast motion video; vibrant colors created by its BrilliantColor
technology; and proven reliability across all facets - picture reliability
over time (no fading, yellowing or color decay over time as compared
to other display technologies), overall performance and dust-resistance.
