Samsung's beam used phone a Pico chipset TI seemed destined to be the next buzzy mobile phone function. The premise was attractive: rays a video, photo, or a presentation from your phone on a wall or a screen view it full size and with other parts.
Manufacturer device Pico quick projectors in digital cameras, camcorders, media players, and docking stations built. Cell phone manufacturers were slow on the uptake. For Japanese carrier NTT DoCoMo, Fujitsu and sharp produced a few listeners. Samsung released a few phones in Korea and Singapore. But in the tar sands development. Pico looked projectors as a short-lived fad.
TI is not giving up. The chip giant says 4 G cellular networks and the transition to a tiered pricing for wireless data technology trends such as upgrading to faster, have Pico Projector phones newly relevant. The company believes that projectors are in the phones so ubiquitous as cameras, to analyst expect forecasts, the millions of Pico enabled devices by 2013. Many of these products are outside the U.S., but Kent Novak, TIS's Senior Vice President and General Manager for digital light processing (DLP products says, TI in active discussions with the four largest U.S. carriers (AT & TSprint Nextel, T-Mobile United States and Verizon Wireless).
Novak refers to three factors - technology, network and applications - that will support a resurgence in Pico phones.
TI on the shrinking of the Pico chipsets which boast a miniature version of the technology, the TI offers cinema and overhead projectors has focused on the technology side. Early Pico telephones were bulky as regular mobile phones. a road for most consumers. Novak says, that TI's now fit latest chipset, which is about the length and width of the Pinky nail, could be in Apple's iPhone 4, which is only 0.37 inches thick.
TI packed higher resolution in its chip, a process that Novak describes as fitting more mirrors in a smaller space. And it is measured per watt pinching brighter images of their projectors, a feature in lumens. Early Pico cell phones delivered over five lumens per watt battery. Novak says that TI has since improved the rate of two to three times. The average run time on a phone is three hours - just long enough to a film look. "The major challenge at an early stage [power] efficiency and brightness, was", says Novak. "When you can see the image, content does matter then."
Content plays role of course for all new mobile media function. TI is now, Pico mobile phones on the demand for mobile video and video applications connect. The introduction of the 4 G networks means faster than phones, streamed can be ever downloaded or simple videos. Phones, are displayed also equipped with larger, higher quality video better than ever before screens, where the right on the device. However, TI maintains that the video is an inherently social experience is, people want to share. "No one wants to keep your phone and see a video of themselves if the picture on a wall, larger than a TV can be beamed", spokesman Rickey says Vogel.
An argument is formulated to appeal to wireless operators. Combination of Pico phones with 4 G and video transforms Pico phones into a sales tool for carriers, data packets consumers or nudge people who already buy plans more capacity for data numbers to sell. Support the support air carriers to the devices, which in turn, will drive mobile phone manufacturer with TI. The lack of projector phones currently on the market also device manufacturer look, inspired to differentiate their devices could so Novak.
Novak says DLP sales were growing 300% a year on the different categories of mobile equipment and now extend to more than 20 brands and 30 kinds of products. Emerging markets, where people more on their phones than on a desktop computer or even a TV video can be seen, are a big target. India already supports a few Pico phones. Novak expects China soon in connect.
In developed markets such as the United States TI, says a variety of mobile phones would benefit from Pico projectors. (The technology it will run on any mobile operating system and is compatible with chipsets from companies other than TI.) Business-centric smartphones could include display projectors for PowerPoint forecasts or sales videos, while she could integrate high end feature phones for social networking for young people. Always a Pico phone at an affordable price enough for young people would be a challenge, but Novak says, are likely to subsidize the devices if they believe that they can draw the difference by data fees.
More options will appear, if third-party developers start to weave projectors in their applications. TI engineers have already Pico app and Slingbox's SlingPlayer says mobile app Novak that Apple video chat service, FaceTime, a Pico Projector for group video conferencing could use projectors at AT & T's mobile TV/video U-verse, by linking to the iPhones camera front-facing and transfers the image from the back-facing camera connected. Bird says that Microsoft's Windows phone operating system could integrate a Pico Projector for your mobile Xbox games. A band-in with Microsoft controlled motion Kinect technology, people would turn Pico phones into portable Xboxes, allow, he notes.
Would a Pico Projector be you phone interested in? Or you would rather watch video directly on your mobile phone display? Let me in the comments below.
