Video Projector on a Chip?

Stile 65 writes "Cornell researchers have made a 0.2mm-squared mirror mounted on carbon fibers that can oscillate at 2.5KHz, 'caus[ing] a laser beam to scan across a range of up to 180 degrees.' These can be mounted on a chip, and in combination with lasers, arrays of such mirrors on a chip can be made into a video projector. From the article: ''"It would be an incredibly cheap display," [Cornell grad student Shahyaan] Desai said. And the entire device would be small enough to build into a cell phone to project an image on a wall."' This display is made possible because of the innovative use of carbon fiber instead of silicon in MEMS. Unlike a standard DMD, this type of device would have one mirror per scanline, not one mirror per pixel, allowing the chip to be much smaller."

Is slow, I don't know why it sucks so much but it surely does, I'm tired of wondering what would happen if I smashed the glass out of my CRT.

I want my 2200 Lumen, 1:75, 1600x1200 projector DAMN IT.

P.S. LCDs are garbage...

P.P.S. STICK YOUR $1200 HD TV up your ASS!

P.P.P.S. Mod me Troll...

How in the world is this +5 or interesting?

MTSK and RPNGQ are much better solutions in SLKU, but WPNYH technology seems to win in the end over TUKPS or VFRSD. Not to mention APAFRK or KLNPS.
