Today it’s Stanley who is joining the miniature projector fray, but luckily, Stanley is using familiar technology for theirs - a homegrown micromirror device similar to that of a Texas Instruments DLP chip. This new projection system was shown at this week’s International Conference of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) in Japan. Stanley is developing this projection system with mobile phones specifically in mind, which should be no surprise since that’s where all the other micro-projectors are aiming. The core of Stanley’s new technology utilizes piezoelectricity to tilt the actuator, similar to that of how Texas Instrument’s DLP chips work, and a laser deflecting light off the mirrors in order to create an image. While no word on when this new projection system will be integrated into mobile phones and other mobile devices, more competition to produce the best projector for mobile devices will end up as a big win for the consumer.
