DLP chipWith DLP (Digital Light Processing) and OMAP technologies from Texas Instrument consumers can now use their cell phones to capture and store content, including high-quality digital movies and console-quality video games, and then watch the content with others via a connection to mobile, palm-sized DLP pocket projectors, that are full-featured, yet weigh less than one pound.

The ability to share content between the handset and DLP display should drive increased content sharing as consumers will have easy on-the-go access to their personalized high-quality video content and live TV. Users can quickly and seamlessly display their video content in larger, more enjoyable screen sizes by connecting a DLP Pocket Projector to the video-out feature on OMAP-enabled handsets (like Nokia N93, N93i and N95).

The mobile phone has become the ultimate mobile entertainment center, and with the ability to share this using a DLP display, TI is providing the foundation for seamless content sharing between handsets and display devices – using the .55 DLP chip, these micro-projectors weigh less than one pound and offer incredible mobility.
