Abstract
In July 2007, Motorola signed an agreement with micro-projector manufacturer Microvision to integrate Microvision' s PicoP micro-projector module into Motorola mobile phones. At the IMID conference held in August 2007, Korean LG forecast that mobile projection had very high growth potential. Mobile projection technology is beginning to attract a great deal of attention worldwide.
However, volume production of micro-projector devices is still some way off. Several problems need to be overcome, including the large size of the devices, high power consumption, and issues with the light-emitting components. Many companies are working on micro-projector technology, hoping to integrate such devices into a mobile phone. This report will analyze the current state of the micro-projector industry, the technical obstacles, and possible solutions.
