Texas Instruments showed its 3D-ready projectors and lamp-free data projectors at InfoComm in the US this week.
The 3D projectors are based on the company's DLP chip technology. The chip uses an array of millions of micro-mirrors which can be switched at high speed, which enables the simultaneous display of left-eye and right-eye images required for the brain to create a 3D picture.
It is the rapid refresh rate of the DLP chip which supports 3D viewing.
According to TI, as many as 30 manufacturers will have projectors on the market soon, including BenQ, InFocus, LightSpeed, Mitsubishi, Optoma, Sharp and ViewSonic.
The first lamp-free LED display in a 1080p projector was demonstrated last year.
The firm’s DLP technology, which is based on reflected images via an array of tiny mirrors, has traditionally been used in home theatre systems and business projectors, but it said this small format pico-projector can be used either as standalone projector or as an integrated component in mobile devices such as phones, media players or cameras.
TI has also shown DLP-based Cinema 4k technology which will be designed into projectors by Barco and NEC.
