Companies to Develop Compact Projectors

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SpatiaLight Inc. of Novato, Calif., SI InfoComm Inc. of Korea and Scram Technologies Inc. of Bowie, Md., have entered into a memorandum of understanding agreement for the development of laser-diode-based microprojectors. These next-generation compact projection displays are expected to bring bigger and higher-quality video to mobile electronics, including cellular phones and laptop computers. They will provide high-resolution images from a variety of data, image and video sources by linking to either a wireless or a wired source.

Under the agreement, SpatiaLight will provide a customized 0.3-in. diagonal SVGA-resolution single-chip liquid-crystal-on-silicon imager solution and the drive electronics reference design. Scram will produce the optical component technology, including the laser diode modules that will drive the system. SI InfoComm will be responsible for the overall design and system-level integration of the devices and will provide SpatiaLight with funding to speed its development and commercialization.

Glossary
image
In optics, an image is the reconstruction of light rays from a source or object when light from that source or object is passed through a system of optics and onto an image forming plane. Light rays passing through an optical system tend to either converge (real image) or diverge (virtual image) to a plane (also called the image plane) in which a visual reproduction of the object is formed. This reconstructed pictorial representation of the object is called an image.
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
