“Building upon the success of the first DLP Pico chipset, which has HVGA resolution and enables leading brands to deliver cutting-edge products across the globe, this new chipset increases performance benchmarks,” said Frank J. Moizio, Manager, DLP Emerging Markets business. “The new chipset provides WVGA resolution, higher brightness and power efficiency; all while enabling thinner, smaller optical engine modules to meet the demands of contemporary handheld devices.”

The new DLP Pico solution delivers the following features:

• WVGA (854×480) – Native DVD resolution
• Enables >20% thinner optical module height
• Enables >20% smaller optical module volume
• Incorporates technology advances that increase both brightness and power efficiency

“Working together, Samsung and Texas Instruments, DLP(R) products have made headway in a currently untapped market,” said Wonsik Lee, Vice President of R&D Planning Team at Samsung Electronics. “This is an exciting time for the mobile phone industry as we transform the limitations of the mobile phone viewing experience to compelling image sizes that really adds significant value to both business and consumer users.”

With the DLP technology enabled Samsung projector phones you can now turn what has traditionally been an individual experience into a shared viewing opportunity for mobile content. By projecting content you can easily broaden the viewable image in a matter of seconds for ample screening.

The full-featured smartphones include the following:

• Multiple applications that can be enhanced by the projection feature: Sharing Powerpoint Slides, Viewing Email Attachments, Viewing pictures, Watching videos, and even using the projection feature as a Flashlight
• DLP Pico chipset technology
• 5.0-megapixel camera
• High-resolution color OLED touchscreen
• Intuitive flick navigation to view presentations and photo slideshows
• Ultra-contemporary sleek and lightweight design
• Built-in audio speakers

The Samsung pico projector is powered by a miniaturized version of the same imaging technology found in DLP HDTVs, home theater projectors and large-scale cinema houses. The unit can accommodate a range of projected image sizes – from an 8 ½ x 11 standard sheet of paper to a large 50-inch screen.

For added convenience, the MBP200 comes with a small screen holder with a telescoping pole hidden inside, which can instantly turn a standard sheet of paper into a screen to view movies, document files or pictures. The 3.5mm standard jack allows users to enjoy their own headphones or speakers, or the built-in external speaker allows the MBP200 to play audio directly from the device.

The BlackBerry with Pico Projector is definitely slimmer than last year’s prototype, though the BlackBerry is wider. The BlackBerry in the video is actually just a dummy BlackBerry casing, hopefully TI will be able to complete a working phone with the Pico Projector integrated.

Check out this ShengTai CKing mobile phone in China, they have a working phone with a mini projector with a small projection screen size.
