Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division, one of the leaders in display products manufacturing, released its latest and smallest business projectors at this week's InfoComm show in Las Vegas, informs Mobile Whack.

Possibly the world's smallest projectors, the PocketProjector and PocketProjector SD each weigh in at 14 ounces and fit easily into a handbag, pocket or the palm of ones hand.

"The reaction to these projector models has been phenomenal," said Frank Anzures, product manager for Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division.

"Every day we talk with dealers and customers who share applications where this little projector will do a big job for them. For instance, it basically creates a meeting room in a small office where the viewing screen and angle of a laptop just doesn't work."

Users can easily create a 20-inch diagonal screen with just over a foot of projection distance, and a 40-inch image in less than a yard. The SD version of the projector is equipped with a secure digital memory card slot allowing photographs and any files that have been saved in PDF format, such as a PowerPoint presentation, to be easily viewed.

Three Lumileds LEDs (red, green, blue) produce an SVGA (800 x 600 pixels) image using the latest Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing technology, and the projectors' advanced lighting technology is rated to last an up to 20,000 hours, as the lamp is expected to last over 10 years with an average use of five hours per day.

"These models are going to be one of the most versatile performers in our product line," said James Chan, director of product marketing, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America's Presentation Products Division. "They have already established new standards and created all new applications and markets for professional projection displays."
