HYPOLED develops mega-tiny VGA projector display

HYPOLED, an 18-month-old project tasked with creating OLED microdisplays for upcoming pico projectors, has just released a report of its recent progress. Among the advances is a Fraunhofer IPMS-designed all digital VGA, full color OLED microdisplay backplane with matching pico projector optics. The display measures just 0.18-mm thick and is already in prototype manufacturing. The super miniscule display is connected to a MediaBox enabling it to operate via WiFi. Fraunhofer is now expected to begin developing a prototype of the full projector.

Optoma Pico PK 100 simplified model for $199

The PK 100 will join the previously introduced PK 101 ($229) and PK 102 ($249) models.

Model PK 100 ($199 estimated retail) is billed as a more simplified version of the miniature DLP-based Pico projectors the company has introduced in the past.

The new model is designed for general purpose use and features composite-video inputs for connection to similarly configured digital cameras, game consoles movie cameras and similar devices.
The projector is expected to be broadly distributed, especially through Optoma's online retail partners, according to Jon Grodem, Optoma's product marketing director.

The unit features the same tiny .17 DLP DMD chip used in Optoma's earlier models, and is powered by three LED lamps (red, green and blue) capable of outputting up to 11 ANSI lumens of brightness at a 1,000:1 contrast ratio.

The PK 100 will join the previously introduced PK 101 ($229) and PK 102 ($249) models.
In related news, Optoma said Apple has agreed to expand the distribution of the PK 101 model to up to 170 Apple stores nationwide beginning in October.

Microvision Ships SHOWWX Laser Picoprojector

In case you missed the projector before, it is a small plug-and-play projector that is capable of projecting an image of 12-inches to 150-inches depending on ambient light. The PicoP display engine keeps the image in focus no matter how far the projector is from the projection surface.

The resolution of the projector is 848 x 480. Pricing and availability for the SHOWWX is unknown.

Optoma PK102 Pico Projector has 4 GB Storage

“Customers made it clear that the best way to improve on the Pico concept was to add convenience and connectivity options, especially VGA,” said Optoma marketing director Jon Grodem, in a statement. “The new improvements make Pico more versatile and more convenient for both personal and business use.”

The PK102 can handle resolutions up to 800 by 600 pixels, and projects images at a native resolution of 480 by 320 pixels. The projector can handle common video and image formats directly from files loaded into its 4 GB of internal memory—that includes MPEG-4, H.264, and AVI, along with JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and PNG—and users can pop on an optional USB connector to access media from a thumb drive or other USB device. The rechargeable lithium ion battery can power the PK102 for up to 90 minutes; there’s a dedicated power plug for faster recharging, too.
