The Future of Things has a very in-depth and extensive article about Explay’s Nano-Projector first announced last summer. There has been a considerable amount of news lately about miniature projectors for mobile devices with Texas Instruments throwing their hat in the ring with their DLP projectors, Microvision and their mint-sized projector, and now Explay with their own laser-based projection system. The projector is shown in action displaying a cartoon and a music video at a mobile display-friendly 320 x 240 resolution. However, Explay does say that it has the capabilities to increase the resolution to High Definition, expanding the possibilities of these new portable projectors. Photos do show the Nano-Projector displaying an impressive image on your standard A4 piece of paper, which shows enough promise of better things to come. TFOT also interviews Golan Manor, vice president of technical marketing for Explay who gives his two cents and says that we’ll be seeing these in production starting this summer. It’s an interesting read, to say the least, and it seems that projectors in cell phones is now inevitable.
