Foxconn showcases tiny PD-W1001 DLP projector

by Darren Murph, posted Jun 4th 2008 at 5:10PM

Although Computex has largely delivered a slew of netbooks to digest, a handful of new pico projectors have also managed to get a little face time. The latest is Foxconn's PD-W1001, which features a 0.3-inch Texas Instruments DLP chip, WVGA (854 x 480) resolution and 25 Lm -- all within a 55- x 46- x 26-millimeter package that weighs just 65-grams. In its current form, we can't see this being much more than a novel concept, but when these critters start inching closer to 1080p, you can color us very much interested.

These tiny projectors are nice, but I think the most important thing is brightness and longevity of the bulb. The whole market for "pico" projectors is traveling business people. I mean, ultimately, I guess we will see them built into laptops and such. But the market remains the same. Either way, brightness is key, I don't want my presentation to disappear when the smoke detector LED blinks.
