Epson and Philips to Further Reduce Mini-projectors

 

Seiko Epson and Philips have just announced that they want to put a projector in as many gadgets as possible: your portable multimedia player, cellphone, handheld game console, PDA (apparently some people still use them), digital camera, JesusPhone, fake lightsaber and your bowl of Cap’n Crunch. And Jason’s pants.

Perhaps they should have said that they really, really, REALLY want to put a projector next to those gadgets because, that is the closest they are going to get right now Sadly, they are still far from reaching this miniaturization point. Still, their progress is quite amazing.

Sure, they are going way beyond Epson’s previous mini-projector. The new reference design will use Seiko Epson’s High Temperature Poly-Silicon TFT panel and Philips’ Ujoy lamp. The 50W lamp has a diameter of 43.5mm and a depth of 64mm, while the driver module measures a mere 70 × 36 × 26mm. Weight is just 4 ounces.

Like other mini-projector models, however, the new design will be limited to 800 x 600 pixels. Unlike other mini-proyectors, however, this one may one day be released.
