Movie Phone
Friends no longer have to gather ‘round the laptop to watch the latest YouTube video. A Samsung phone doubles as a projector, displaying still or moving images up to 1.2 meters wide. The phone incorporates digital light-processing technology from Texas Instruments, in which images are projected by hundreds of thousands of microscopic mirrors in an array. Samsung plans to release the phone in Europe this summer; it’s already available in Korea.
