<b>Video Projectors Shrink to ‘Pico’ Size, Creates a 20 Million Unit Market</b></p>
<p><i>SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 24, 2010</i> Today’s state-of-the-art “micro” video projectors, which are about the size of a paperback novel and weigh about one pound, are quickly being pushed aside in favor of “pico” projectors, which are about the size of a candy bar and weigh just a few ounces, reports In-Stat (<a href="http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBZVb0HV5CN0K560DHgc0Ep" target="_blank">http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBZVb0HV5CN0K560DHgc0Ep</a>). The combination of improved pico projection capability and the desire for larger displays will result in a new consumer electronics segment whose shipments will exceed 20 million units in five years.</p>
<p>“The number of companies developing pico projectors now stands at 18, and is growing,” says Frank Dickson, In-Stat analyst. “The list includes pico projection heavy weights like Himax, Micron Displaytech, Microvision and Texas Instruments.”</p>
<p>Recent research by In-Stat found the following:</p>
<ul><li> Market revenue for pico projector modules expected to reach nearly half a billion dollars by 2014.<br>
</li><li> While stand-alone/accessory pico projectors (which plug into a device, such as a cell phone, iPod or laptop) dominate the market, there is clear movement from “plug-in” to “embedded.”<br>
</li><li>Personal CE devices and stand-alone devices dominate currently, but this will change as mobile handsets will drive growth exponentially within the next two years.</li></ul>
<p>The research, “<a href="http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBZVb0HV5CN0K560HjAI0EP" target="_blank">Pico Projectors: One Reason Bigger Isn’t Better</a>” (#IN1004722WH), covers the worldwide market for Pico Projector technology. It includes: </p>
<ul><li> Examination of different technologies and related issues.<br>
</li><li> Analysis of market drivers and barriers.<br>
</li><li> Unit sales forecasts by product category through 2014.<br>
</li><li> Manufacturer profiles: 3M, ADM (aka Explay), bTendo, Digislide, Display Photonics Systems, Himax, Lite Blue Optics, Lite-On Technology, Maradin Technologies, Mezmeriz, Micron Displaytech, Microvision, Mirrorcle Technologies, Mitsumi Electric, Nippon Signal, Opus Microsystems, Syndiant, and Texas Instruments.</li>
