HD to 4K UHD DLP chipsets enable compact high-performance smart projectors with solid-state illumination
Mobile Smart TVs are compact devices that can wirelessly stream content and project it onto virtually any surface. They can take the place of a TV in the home or serve as a portable display. Both applications can leverage ultra-short throw optics to project onto surfaces just inches away from the unit.
- Up to 4K UHD resolution
- High optical efficiency enables a big screen from a small product
- On-demand display disappears when off
- Compatible with solid-state illumination (Laser or LED)
