Yesterday I showed you the latest pocket projector coming from Australia, the V10. Today another pocket projector has been announced and this time it’s from Japan. Created by Nippon Signal, this model used to be the size of a lunch box. But Nippon redesigned it an shrank it to about 1/8th from original size. The new design makes this projector about the size of a cigarette case. They were able to achieve this feat by reducing the size of the optical system, which included the lens and the MEMS scanner. The new design also uses lasers to project the image instead of LEDs or regular lamps. If the laser system is anything like the Microvision SHOW that means that this new projector will never fall out of focus. Unfortunately this new model is still in the prototype stages, like all the rest, but Nippon Signal is looking to release this projector as soon as possible.
