DLP can project 1080p because they have 1 mirror for each pixel. Could the MVIS MEMS scanner be modulated to project at that resolutio?<br>Thank you for your time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064031792202228582.post-47256808328811203632007-03-31T07:12:00.000-07:002007-03-31T07:12:00.000-07:00Ben,Be very careful concerning the information you...Ben,<br><br>Be very careful concerning the information you post on this blog.

PicoP, is of course, a Pick:<br><br>"The Projector Phone: Microvision's PicoP demo showed that you can pack a digital projector into a handset the size of a BlackJack phone. Pretty impressive!" <br><br>That being said, I spoke to the guys who attended the show and they commented that it is a challenge to display PicoP optimally at extremely brightly lit convention show floors. <br><br>Remember, this is a projector, and like any projector, the image competes with the brightness of the ambient environment. We were showing PicoP from about 4 feet from a surface, which makes the image about 32" diagonally. PicoP can display an awesome image on a piece of notebook paper even in brightly lit environments, but as with any projector, as the image size increases (correlating to the distance from the projected surface), the overall brightness of the image is reduced.<br><br>I believe the image from PicoP is pretty amazing, especially considering the absolutely thin and tiny size, and targeted low cost and power consumption, consistent with the requirements to be embedded in a mobile phone. <br><br>The experience of any image is subjective and I'd encourage everyone who's interested to come up for our shareholders' meeting (which I believe will be scheduled for June) and evaluate PicoP's performance personally.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17771017041687380881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064031792202228582.post-59194594700088185942007-04-02T13:29:00.000-07:002007-04-02T13:29:00.000-07:00Thanks Ben, your comments are always very much app...Thanks Ben, your comments are always very much appreciated!
