Smartphones with inbuilt projector circuit

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the feasibility of integrating a mini projector into smartphones, exploring technical challenges and potential alternatives for projection functionality.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Prashant S Akerkar questions the feasibility of designing smartphones with an inbuilt mini projector, noting the current limitations of the torch feature.
  • Another participant asserts that it is not feasible, suggesting that the power required to project an image exceeds the battery capacity of a smartphone.
  • This participant also highlights the issue of heat generation as a significant concern for such a device.
  • Prashant S Akerkar later inquires whether increasing battery capacity could address the power requirements for the projector functionality.
  • A response suggests that users should conduct their own research before posting similar questions, indicating a lack of engagement with the inquiry.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the feasibility of integrating a projector into smartphones, with some asserting it is not possible due to power and heat constraints, while others question the assumptions about battery capacity.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not resolve the technical challenges related to power requirements and heat management, nor does it clarify the extent to which battery capacity could be increased.

Is it feasible to design and construct State of the art Smartphones with inbuilt mini projector device functionality ?

As we know there is a inbuilt torch feature in the Smartphones but has limited functionality.

If not, Why?

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant S Akerkar

The short answer is no.

There's an obvious reason -- can you say what that is?

And beyond the simple answer, there are much better ways to do projection of the information from a smartphone. I can think of two right away -- can you guess what those probably are? (the first is obvious, the second is more subtle) :smile:

The amount of power to produce enough light to project an image is beyond the batter capacity of a device the size of a cell phone.

You would also have to deal with the heat.
 
Thanks.

Can't we increase the Battery capacity required for the projector circuit?

Will the Battery requirements be huge fir the Smartphone to work as a projector device?

Please use google and put some effort into figuring these things out yourself before posting them here. Thread locked.
