Projector-Integrated Smartphones

The MagicOn Ayane Phone Can Project Images and Videos onto Walls

— April 9, 2014 — Tech
The Ayane smartphone is a smartphone that has an integrated pico projector, allowing users to project images from their smartphone onto walls and other flat surfaces.

The Ayane, developed by Hong Kong-based Conplex International, is capable of projecting a 42-inch image with a resolution of 480 x 640 and a contrast ratio of 1,000:1. This is possible thanks to the integration of a pico projector developed by Texas Instruments. Users armed with an Ayane smartphone can easily give a presentation on a blank wall or view photos and video on a big screen without needing to transfer the media to a computer or hook up the smartphone to a TV.

The Ayana itself sports a 4-inch multi-touch display with an 800 x 480 resolution. It contains a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor supported by 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of storage.
