Microvision Showwx+ HDMI

20.05.12

The Microvision Showwx+ HDMI is a pico projector that uses lasers, rather than the LCOS (Liquid Crystal On Silicon) technology we've seen previously in products such as 3M's PocketProjector MP180 (see What's New, Shopper 284). Laser projectors use three different lasers for the red, green and blue components of the image, each of which can control the brightness and colour intensity of the beam. A lens combines these into a single beam, which is then directed onto a moveable mirror which projects the laser out of the lens to produce an image line by line, rather like the beam in a CRT display.

It's a tiny device the size of a large smartphone and weighs only 117g, and yet it can project an image up to 100in diagonal. Its battery lasts for two hours and recharges via USB, so it's ideal as a travelling companion for business trips.

As well as being small, the MP180 is also quite easy to use. There are only three ports - one USB port for charging, a mini-HDMI output and a proprietary port for attaching to an Apple device such as an iPhone or iPad. It comes with a cable for the latter, a composite video adaptor and a mini-HDMI cable. You can also buy a VGA adaptor for £30, which also includes a clamp with rubber feet for added stability, which is a good idea as the Showwx+ HDMI's low weight means that a cable's weight or stiffness can drag it out of position. The controls are simple too: along with the power button, there's a menu button and two arrow buttons for selecting items.
