CES 2006: Viewsonic previews handheld projector prototype

January 4, 2006 Today we were fortunate enough to catch up with the folks at Viewsonic and to get a preview of a new handheld, battery-powered projector prototype. The diminutive PJ106D uses a white LED light source and a .55" DLP chip and can operate for about 2.5 hours when mated with it's portable battery pack. We actually saw the device in action and were impressed. While the PJ106D's light output is only 25 lumen, we found that it was more than adequate for "small" presentations and Viewsonic claims that it's enough to produce a 30 or 40" image in a darkened room. Inputs include an SD card slot (for jpeg slide shows), S-video, composite video, and VGA. The prototype we saw had a speaker and audio input, but these are unlikely to make it into the final product.
