Toshiba Pocket LED Projector at IFA 2008

Posted by Charbax on 31st August 2008

Toshiba shows this amazing real pocket projector product they are calling the Accessory Type pocket projector. It outputs at 10 lumen for up to 2 hours on a battery. Be careful not to turn it on by accident in your pants or you might get burnt. Otherwise this is awesome, imagine having a projector like this with a retractable mirror and a digital pen, this could be a pocket sized large screen computer interface solution (see my video of the Yahsin Projector and digital pen concept).

Samsung 82″ quad-HD 2160p and 31″ OLED screens

Posted by Charbax on 9th March 2008

Totally awesome, the best screens in the world. Quad HD is completely insane quality. I heard from some CMO engineers once that the difference in manufacturing price from 720p to 1080p screens was about 20 dollars two years ago, what would the price difference be between a 1080p and a 2160p quad-HD screen? Perhaps is it just a different chip in there? So what if there isn’t any quad-HD content yet, that the bitrate required for quad-HD is four times the bitrate required for 1080p, getting a 8 megapixel digital still camera is cheap and once you see the 8 megapixel digital pictures on a quad HD screen, actually any picture taken that’s over 2 megapixel will thus show it’s full detail on a quad-HD screen for up to 8 megapixels. So imagine streaming some up-to-8megapixel slideshows, displaying 8MP scanns of paintings. Quad-HD is cool. The OLED screen was good to.

This video was filmed using the Sanyo HD1000.
