Abstract
In July 2007, Motorola signed an agreement with micro-projector manufacturer
Microvision to integrate Microvision' s PicoP micro-projector module into
Motorola mobile phones. At the IMID conference held in August 2007, Korean LG
forecast that mobile projection had very high growth potential. Mobile
projection technology is beginning to attract a great deal of attention
worldwide.
However, volume production of micro-projector devices is still some way off.
Several problems need to be overcome, including the large size of the devices,
high power consumption, and issues with the light-emitting components. Many
companies are working on micro-projector technology, hoping to integrate such
devices into a mobile phone. This report will analyze the current state of the
micro-projector industry, the technical obstacles, and possible solutions.
