Intro: Portable Projector

Portable Projectors have become a sensation and the reason for that is simple: It reduces the space required for projecting content. Moving onto the next level of technology we are chasing to make more and more space available in our surroundings. Instead of opting for large houses, people are inclined towards buying flats for living. We usually chase for the exact amount of space that we need. Talking about science, which is the hottest topic in physical science at the moment? Nano Technology.

This is how the world works. We are trying to increase our comfort level by doing everything possible. People would prefer carrying a Portable Projector over a large projector which gives us a similar output. The days of messy cables, large boxes, less space have met a full stop. We have successfully entered the age of Portable Projectors which has room for a lot of improvement. At iCodis, we are utilizing this room and improving this technology to ease your life.

What is a Portable Projector?

Portable Projector is a device made to replace large projectors. Additionally, it offers various features that large projectors can’t offer.

Having fun night with your friends, a night out full of movies was never so much amazing before the invention of Portable Projectors. You can improve the experience of your family and your friends because of this pocket-sized dynamite regularly.
• Portable Projectors enhance the functionality of projectors. The workload of the projector was reduced because of the space it requires. However, Portable Projectors have banished the myths of old large-sized projectors. Embedding these devices with other electronic devices such as mobile phones, laptops, etc enhance the functionality of both devices.
• If you have heard about Sixth Sense in the past then you would know how you can use Portable Projectors for gesture control. Portable Projectors when used with laser pointers and webcams offer users to fully control a system using laser pointers. Sixth Sense was a device developed by MIT students using Portable Projectors.
• Portable Projectors are embedded with mobile phones to project content via mobile phones. These types of phones are often referred to as ‘Projector Phones.’ These projector phones allow users to projector content present on your mobile phone on any flat surface.
• Many gamers buy large TV sets to fulfill their lust of having a real-life experience while gaming. Instead of buying these expensive TV sets, gamers can switch to Portable Projectors. Portable Projectors allow gamers to project and play these games on a big screen simultaneously. This set-up offers a real-life experience to gamers.
Portable Projectors have garnered worldwide popularity. Many new applications of Portable Projectors have come into the light. Sixth Sense built by MIT students is one of the examples of these new applications. iCodis is working on improving these Portable Projectors and increase its functionality as well.

Type of Portable Projectors

1. Standalone Portable Projectors: These Portable Projectors are connected with an external device via any cable. Usually, USB and HDMI cables are used for connection purposes. These external devices provide the video signal to Portable Projectors for projecting content on any flat surface. Generally, these Portable Projectors have in-built rechargeable batteries.
2. Embedded Portable Projectors: These Portable Projectors are embedded in an electronic device. Portable Projectors derive power and output from the electronic device. When a Portable Projectors is embedded in a mobile phone then the resultant device is known as ‘Projector Phone.’
3. Media Player: These Portable Projectors do not need an external system for deriving input. They have memory card slots for external memory. These memory devices provide input to Portable Projectors which in return projects content. These Portable Projectors eliminate the use of cables.
4. USB Projector: These Portable Projectors are connected to an external system with the aid of USB cable. The USB cable connects Portable Projectors with an external system which helps Portable Projectors to gain power and input. As power is derived from external systems, USB Projectors are battery-free projectors. The absence of in-built batteries gains USB projectors a tag of being the smallest types of Portable Projectors.

The technology used in Portable Projectors

As we’ve specified in other posted articles, three main technology used in portable projectors are DLP, LCoS, and LBS.

• Digital Light Processing (DLP): DLP by Texas Instrument is a technology used in Portable Projects. This technology uses a white light source and few filtering techniques with the help of tiny mirrors to project content.

• Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS): LCoS uses a white light source to project content. Small LCDs are used to project content by controlling how many light casts upon a designated pixel as well.

• Laser Beam Steering (LBS): This technology was proposed by Micro vision. LBS uses different technology compared to DLP and LCoS. Optical principles are used to coalesce three different colored laser beams.
