Taiwan based Young Optics expects to start shipping projectors for mobile next year.
The company aims to ship one million projectors in 2010, but says significant shipments are not expected until 2009. Young Optics says its first projectors will be based on LED, with future versions based on semiconductor lasers that use much less power.
In October, Texas Instruments demonstrated its second-generation pico-projector prototype and confirmed that three manufacturers – Foxconn, Sypro Optics and Young Optics – would build mobile products based on it.
Frank J. Moizio, manager of emerging markets at TI DLP Front Projection, said: "Today there are approximately 1.4 billion mobile devices with screens that are less than 3.5 inches; our innovation opens the opportunity to have information and video displayed in a much more compelling way, without compromise to the size of current mobile devices."
