"Chilin…" what a great name for a company making its way in OEM on its liquid cooling technology.

A new Chilin Technology projector features Luminus PhlatLight LED in place of a conventional UHP lamp, as well as the latest Texas Instrument 1080p (1920x1080) DMD technology. The projector requires a thermal management system that breaks with tradition: so meet the first Lamp-Free Full HD Home Theater Projector with liquid cooling on the market.

With 600 ANSI lumen and >100,000:1 contrast ratio, Chilin says it can deliver 128% NTSC color gamut, 80% greater than conventional UHP projectors.

The Phlat Light LEDs operate at a high electric current of 30A with far higher heat density than current LED application. Chilin’s liquid cooling technology dissipates heat directly by water to keep the PhlatLight LEDs at a consistent, low temperature. This technology allows “no lamp replacement”. Chilin expects to achieve up to 50,000 hours under its liquid cooling technology.

SCRAM Technologies (USA) and MDS Technology (Korea) jointly developed the world's smallest micro-miniature projector that’s only t3 cubic centimeters in volume.

This projector can be built into mobile telephones and other portable electronics to project photographs and animated pictures up to 12 inches in diagonal. Miniaturization is possible with electronic circuitry only 5mm by 5mm.

SCRAM and MDS have also jointly developed miniature personal projectors that are 8, 80 and 298 cubic centimeters in volume. Each product can vary in length and breadth, depending upon the application. Besides mobile telephones, notebooks and digital cameras, these projectors may be embedded into digital video devices and digital picture frames to show both moving and still images.

The Japanese trading company Shinsei Corporation will market these miniature personal projectors with initial product introduction in 2009.

Optoma introduces its Pico Projector and you can see the video.

Despite being smaller and lighter than many digital cameras and smart phones the Optoma Pico Pocket Projector enables users to share images and videos from their media devices at up to a maximum of 60”.

Based around the latest LED illumination advances and DLP technology, the Optoma Pico Pocket Projector, says Optoma, combines high contrast images with a 20,000 hour lamp life, long battery life and simple operation.

Barco creates the world's first 10 megapixel setup in passive stereo 3D. Commercial applications of this technology include industries that need the most realistic detail in 3D (automotive, engineering, scientific research and oil and gas industries).

Their LX-5 projector (debuted late 2007 as the world’s first 10MP projector) breaks new ground with its integration in Barco’s CADWall concept. For this purpose, it was optimized for a passive 3D stereo setup.

Barco’s CADWall concept is a multi-projector display system with a high pixel density that consists completely of Barco technology. Apart from projectors, other system components include a superflat high-contrast screen, mechanics, and both display management hardware and software.

By adding the LX-5 to the projectors that can be used for this system, Barco has set a new benchmark by requiring only two channels to create a vivid 10 megapixel 3D stereo image.

The passive 3D stereo CADWall setup with two Barco LX-5 projectors was debuted at Tokyo’s Industrial Virtual Reality show. Barco has decided to show this setup during its Innovation Weeks in Kuurne, Belgium.

JVC promises to show at CEDIA the world's slimmest LCD TV (with built-in tuner), the Super Slim LT-42DS9BJ, but more eyes will look for the latest development in its range of True Black D-ILA projectors, the DLA-HD100 Cinema Widescreen System.

This 2.35:1 system was designed specifically for the DLA-HD100 by T&W Marketing in response to requests from the custom install market. The result is a 2.35:1 system that is easy to set up, and stunning in performance.
