With this in mind, Texas Instruments' DLP arm has unveiled a new system at MWC known as IntelliBright, which is intended to improve the brightness of picoprojectors without making hardware hungrier.
In developed markets like the U.S., TI says a range of phones would benefit from picoprojectors. (The technology will run on any mobile operating system and is compatible with chipsets from companies other than TI.) Business-centric smartphones could include projectors for displaying PowerPoint projections or sales videos while high-end feature phones could incorporate them for social networking for teenagers.
On the technology side, TI has been focusing on shrinking its pico chipsets, which boast a miniature version of the technology TI provides to cinemas and overhead projectors.
