Texas Instruments has demonstrated a mobile phone with a built in projector. The prototype DLP pico-projector is small enough to fit on a finger tip, the company said. The company claims that the prototype is capable of displaying an image about the size of an A4 sheet of paper (8.5”11-inches) in ambient light conditions. The DLP being demonstrated has a HVGA (640×240) resolution, the company indicated.

This is two times the resolution of a typical mobile phone screen. The projector contains three lasers, a DLP chip and a power supply and measures about 1.5-inches in length. With the projector, the mobile phone can beam DVD-quality video onto a screen or a wall, CNET wrote, adding that the chip inside the phone could drive images for a widescreen TV.
