As much as mobile-phone technology improves over time, there's one aspect guaranteed to remain the same—screen size. Any bigger and you start creeping into tablet territory. That's why laser-based mini projectors have become popular. Connect one to your phone, and you can display a much larger version of your screen onto most surfaces.
虽然手机技术日新月异,屏幕尺寸这一方面保证不变。再大一点便进入了平板电脑的范畴。这便是迷你激光投影仪受欢迎的原因。手机连上投影仪,便可以在很多表面上呈现大得多的屏幕影像。
Now researchers from VTT Technical Research Center, the Aalto University and laser-maker EpiCrystals, Inc., in Finland are looking to integrate mini projectors into the phone itself. The key is making a small, energy-efficient and luminous three-color laser light source that can be embedded without driving up handset costs. The researchers hope that their technology will reach the market in the next few years. (Of course, that’s just a projection.)
芬兰VTT技术研究中心、阿尔托大学以及激光生产商EpiCrystals公司的研究人员正在试图把迷你投影仪集成到手机本身。关键是找到能够嵌入的小型、节能、发光的三色激光光源,而不会增加手机的成本。研究人员希望这一技术能在未来的几年内进入市场。(当然,这只是推测罢了。)
Here in the States, Redmond, Wash.-based MicroVision plans to sell its embedded mini projector chip to makers of cell phones, portable media players, digital cameras, laptops and even cars. They can't make your home movies and vacation photos more interesting, but at least your audience will be wowed by how you display them.
此时,位于美国华盛顿州雷德蒙市的MicroVision公司计划将其嵌入式迷你投影仪芯片卖给手机、便携式媒体播放器、数码相机、笔记本电脑甚至是汽车的制造商。这不仅会使您的家庭录像和假日照片变得更加有趣,至少观众会为您播放的方式而欢呼雀跃。
