STMicro wants to bring pico-projectors to mass market smartphones next year

STMicro wants to bring pico-projectors to mass market smartphones next year

You've probably heard of Samsung's Galaxy Beam Android smartphone, which has a built-in pico-projector. Well, many more handsets like that could be introduced soon, thanks to STMicroelectronics. The Swiss-based company has announced it acquired "the intellectual property and has hired most of the staff" of bTendo - an Israeli start-up that's been collaborating with ST for a couple of years now. ST will combine bTendo's Scanning Laser Projection engine with its own technologies and know-how to bring pico-projectors to more smartphones, as well as laptops and other devices.
