*Video Projectors Shrink to 'Pico' Size, Creates a 20 Million Unit Market*

*SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 24, 2010*   Today's state-of-the-art "micro" video
projectors, which are about the size of a paperback novel and weigh about
one pound, are quickly being pushed aside in favor of "pico" projectors,
which are about the size of a candy bar and weigh just a few ounces, reports
In-Stat (http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBZVb0HV5CN0K560DHgc0Ep).
The combination of improved pico projection capability and the desire for
larger displays will result in a new consumer electronics segment whose
shipments will exceed 20 million units in five years.

"The number of companies developing pico projectors now stands at 18, and is
growing," says Frank Dickson, In-Stat analyst. "The list includes pico
projection heavy weights like Himax, Micron Displaytech, Microvision and
Texas Instruments."

Recent research by In-Stat found the following:

   - Market revenue for pico projector modules expected to reach nearly half
   a billion dollars by 2014.
   - While stand-alone/accessory pico projectors (which plug into a device,
   such as a cell phone, iPod or laptop) dominate the market, there is clear
   movement from "plug-in" to "embedded."
   - Personal CE devices and stand-alone devices dominate currently, but
   this will change as mobile handsets will drive growth exponentially within
   the next two years.

The research, "Pico Projectors: One Reason Bigger Isn't
Better<http://email.in-stat.com/cgi-bin4/DM/y/hBZVb0HV5CN0K560HjAI0EP>"
(#IN1004722WH), covers the worldwide market for Pico Projector technology.
It includes:

   - Examination of different technologies and related issues.
   - Analysis of market drivers and barriers.
   - Unit sales forecasts by product category through 2014.
   - Manufacturer profiles: 3M, ADM (aka Explay), bTendo, Digislide, Display
   Photonics Systems, Himax, Lite Blue Optics, Lite-On Technology, Maradin
   Technologies, Mezmeriz, Micron Displaytech, Microvision, Mirrorcle
   Technologies, Mitsumi Electric, Nippon Signal, Opus Microsystems, Syndiant,
   and Texas Instruments.
