(iTers News) - The resolution of high-end smart phones is going as high as 1080p full HD, but their screen size goes no farther than 6-inches, confining users’ viewing experiences into a tiny palm-size screen. As more and more of people are logging onto the Internet on a smart phone than on a PC, they are increasingly fed up with watching crystal-clear HD video, or playing 3D games on the tiny screen, .

That bodes well for Mezmeriz, Inc. of the U.S, a maker of ultra-tiny MEMS micro-mirror pico-projectors. The MEMS-based pico-projector maker has commercialized an ultra-tiny pico-projector module that can be embedded into a smart phone.

Built with two MEMS microscopic mirrors, that scan red, green, and blue laser light, the built-in pico-projector can project video images on any surface, be they a wall, a desk, and sheet of paper, to create a high resolution projector screen of 10-inch to 15-inch in diagonal size.

In other words, it allows smart phone user to watch their video clips, or mobile games on a laptop size screen beaming them on any flat surface.

In an interview with iTers News, Shahyaan Desai, founder and chief technologist of Mezmeriz, said, ”Mezmeriz develops new micro-mirror technology-based novel material that allows us to do mirror-based very unique things. One of the applications is to make an embedded projection module that can go into a cell phone device to solve the problem” For example, I like having a cell phone, but I don’t like having a small screen.”

“With our embedded module-based technology, you can stand up a cell phone, and you can have a tablet-size screen. We solved the problem of how do I get a big screen on a small phone without making our phone bigger,” added he.

He said he expects a next generation of smart phone to incorporate his micro-mirror-based projection technology.

Mezmeriz’s micro-mirror MEMS technology is based on carbon fibers that is topped on traditional MEMS materials.

Leveraging its carbon fiber materials technology, the company succeeded in developing scanning micro-mirror modules capable of ± 45 degree mechanical excursions at tens of kHz scan speeds, enabling the pico-projection image engine to deliver, crisp, bright, high-resolution images at a distance of 6-inch from the projector.
