A group of scientists at Cornell University say that they can get a Mobile phone to show high-definition TV
ESATO NEWS
The process involves the world of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and involves lasers and carbon fibers and silicon mirrors for rapidly scanning wide areas with a laser. A projector based on the device would be about the size of dime and could cast a meter-wide image on a surface only half a meter away.
The key is a small mirror, about half a millimeter across, suspended by carbon fibers rolled-up sheets of crystalline carbon commonly used to reinforce materials. The fibers amplify the vibrations of a piezoelectric motor, moving the mirror. This movement deflects a laser at different angles, causing it to sweep back and forth across a surface. While the current device only moves the laser side to side, the researchers say it can be easily mounted on a stage that tilts up and down to allow the device to sequentially draw each line of an image, using complex electronics that turn the laser on and off as it is directed across the screen to create the light and dark pixels. A full-color display would mix light from red, green, and blue lasers.
A prototype projector should be ready within a year,with commercial products, developed in three to five years.

dunno got lost somewhere btwn the carbon fibres and lasers but that really would be good, now i wonder how long the battery would last seeing they have made mince-meat of it so far |

hopefully in three to five years when this technology will be integrated into phones battery performance will also have moved on.
