Light Blue Optics’ PVPro™ miniature projection technology is the subject of a paper being presented by Light Blue Optics and Forth Dimension Displays at the June 4-9, Annual Society for Information Display 2006 Symposium in San Francisco, California.

Light Blue Optics have previously anounced a 62cc, matchbox sized demonstrator unit of their PVPro™ technology for miniature projectors The unique diffractive approach developed by Light Blue Optics makes use of the unique properties of ForthDD’s fast switching liquid crystal microdisplays.

Light Blue Optics has developed a unique laser-based projection technology, which uses computational algorithms and novel optical techniques to allow miniature lasers to display video images in real-time using the diffractive nature of laser light. This overcomes the size limitation of conventional projection techniques, allowing projectors to be smaller than ever before.

Light Blue Optics predicts that in the future it’s laser-powered PVPro technology will allow miniature projection modules to be incorporated into a range of products, including cellphones, personal video players, laptops and other consumer electronics products. Also, pocket-sized projectors could be designed as accessories for the same devices, or used as the basis for displays in cars and aircraft.
