The Redmond-based company said that its Show projector is the size of a PDA
and could be built into mobile phones.
The device can project DVD quality visuals up to a range of 2.5 metres and
has a claimed battery life of nearly three hours.
"Consumers want better display solutions that will enrich their experience in
watching TV, videos and movies, playing games, and browsing the web from their
phones and other mobile devices," said Alexander Tokman, president of
Microvision.
"While mobile multi-media subscription services are on the rise, handset
manufacturers, content providers and service providers view tiny phone displays
as a barrier to stronger consumer adoption of their products and services.
"With Microvision's Show you could view and share videos, newscasts, search
results, presentations, feature-length films and family photos in a large,
full-colour, hi-resolution format instead of a 2in QVGA display."
The projector uses three colour lasers and saves power by using the lasers
intermittently, and eliminating the need for a fan to cut heat build up.
The first mobile devices to use the technology will be released to market at
the end of this year and are expected to cost around $300.
Projector vendor InFocus will start to sell direct to European customers in the second half of 2000 when it launches an online store through its UK Web site, due to go live in May. 25 Apr 2000
