Cell-phone Sized Projector Using Lasers

|  posted on 2/15/06 by Matt Gray

Light Blue Optics is developing a miniature laser-based projection system that could allow you to project anything from your cellphone onto a wall. The technology supports resolutions up to 2048x1280, making the projector suitable for HDTV.

The current prototype uses a monochrome laser and a holographic micro-screen to create an image via diffraction. A PowerPoint presentation on the device is available from this press release.

There are example images inside this presentation, though they have been cropped in the presentation to hide some laser edge effects. Perhaps these distracting lines and dots are part of the technology? The uncropped originals are reproduced below:
