Over the past few years, pico projectors stuffed into smartphones and tablets have seemed like novel concepts with little real-world applications. But the little projectors may finally evolve from novel to practical, especially with DLP’s latest pico chip architecture breakthrough.
The new pixel architecture packs a 30 per cent brightness increase and doubled resolution into a platform no bigger than the current generation. And all this comes with a 50 per cent energy efficiency increase to boot.
The platform is still sampling to manufacturers, so don’t expect to see any products before “the end of the year”. With all the potential these chips hold, however, it’s worth the wait. [PR NewsWire]
