For several years people have been talking about the idea of miniaturizing a projector so that it&#39;s small enough to fit inside a cell phone or digital camera. Now it&#39;s finally been done, and 3M is demonstrating a prototype of such a device at this year&#39;s International Consumer Electronics Show.The mobile projector is about a centimeter thick and about 4 centimeters tall by 3 centimeters wide -- small enough to fit inside portable devices like cell phones, PDAs, or a digital still camera, said Todd Rutherford, product development specialist with 3M&#39;s optical systems division.It uses an LED as the light source and can project a VGA resolution (640 pixels by 480 pixels) image through a lens that&#39;s about a centimeter in diameter.3M is demonstrating the projector at CES built into a small handheld device that runs video from flash memory. The image projected onto walls or other light surfaces was good enough and easy enough to see over a distance of about half a meter, although it suffered over greater distances due to the bright lights of the show floor.The demo attracted a lot of attention and a constant stream of show attendees, many of whom had badges identifying them as employees of mobile phone makers or network operators.3M is already working with companies interested in embedding the projector in devices, and the first products should be out in early 2008, said Rutherford. He wouldn&#39;t identify the companies or the applications but said that they are mobile consumer electronics products.

(InfoWorld) - Users looking for the best possible display screen on a notebook PC might want to check out a new offering from Asustek ComputerÂ due out in early March. The company, which sells products under the ASUS brand, plans to launch the U1 business notebook PC on March 7 in Taipei, Taiwan with an LED (light emitting diode) backlight behind the display screen. It will be among only a handful of laptop PCs using LED backlights to create stunningly sharp pictures and vivid colors on a display. A backlight is a light behind the LCD display, on a laptop in this instance, used to illuminate the screen. Most notebook PCs currently use cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL) backlights because the technology is less expensive than LEDs. An executive at AU Optronics, the world's third largest LCD (liquid crystal display) screen maker, estimated that LED backlights were two to three times more expensive than CCFL, in an interview last year. But LED makers have been driving down costs by getting their product into more gadgets. The more they increase production, the lower their per-LED cost. LEDs are now used in a number of products, including auto lights and the small displays on DVD players and MP3 digital music devices. As costs comes down, LEDs that can be used in larger and larger screens. Aside from the ability to display a greater range of colors, LED backlights beat CCFL technology in power savings as well. Their reduced drag on battery life is a key consideration for notebook PCs, and a number of companies are promoting their use in laptops, including Intel Corp. The LED backlight used in the U1 is "as thin as the wing of a cicada" according to the news conference invitation from Asustek. The entire LCD panel, including the backlight, is 0.5 centimeter thick, the release says. The new U1, the "F" version, is a smaller size laptop with an 11.1 inch wide screen that will run the business version of Microsoft's Windows Vista OS. The laptop uses the latest Centrino Core Duo mobile processor and offers users wireless connections to other devices via Bluetooth and wireless Internet connectivity through Wi-Fi. Pricing depends on a user's choice of features, including a 40GB, 60GB, or 80GB hard disk drive and a combination Blu-ray Disc/DVD Super Multi DL/Combo optical drive. Availability was not disclosed.
