Texas Instruments Demonstrates Vision for Future of Viewing Mobile Content
Based on New DLP Pico-Projection Technology
ORLANDO, Fla., March 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NYSE:
TXN) during the 2007 CTIA Wireless convention will be demonstrating, to
select media, a prototype of a DLP(R) pico-projector small enough to fit on
your finger tips. The latest DLP innovation from the world leader in mobile
projection solutions enables compelling viewing options that expand beyond
the limitations of a physical screen for mobile users of cellular phones,
digital cameras and portable media players.

DLP pico-projectors, either as standalone projector or as an integrated
component in mobile devices, will provide consumers and business
professionals with the flexibility to share video and graphic content in a
larger way.
The DLP pico-prototype further advances TI's mobile projection
technology, building on the 2006 introduction of DLP-based pocket
projectors. These products are in the market today from manufacturers,
including Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Toshiba. Pacific Media Associates (PMA),
a global research firm, expects this pocket projector category to grow to
more than 1M units by 2010. TI demonstrated the viewing experience
advantage of showing mobile phone content on a pocket projector in January
2007. The introduction of the pico- projector capabilities will provide
manufacturers and end-users even more options on how they can view and
share information and content.
"As the leader in home theater and business projection, TI DLP Products
continues to develop new and exciting ways that our manufacturing customers
can apply DLP technology in innovative consumer products," said Frank J.
Moizio, Worldwide Strategic Marketing and Business Development Manager, TI
DLP Front Projection. "Over the next few years, we envision a large
opportunity for the convergence of projection technology and mobile
devices, like cell phones," Moizio added.
Now in addition to using TI's world leading OMAP(TM) processor
technology for processing video and graphics content, mobile manufacturers
can take advantage of TI DLP pico-projection technology as a new and
enhanced display option in their devices. As the OMAP wireless application
platform has helped revolutionize processing of media content on mobile
devices, DLP pico- projection technology will advance the viewing
experience of mobile devices providing significant improvements in
productivity and entertainment experiences.
Key benefits of DLP projectors include: smoother images with no "screen
door" effect; crisp and clear presentation of fast motion video; vibrant
colors created by its BrilliantColor technology; and proven reliability
across all facets - picture reliability over time (no fading, yellowing or
color decay over time as compared to other display technologies), overall
performance and dust-resistance.
