Abstract
A mobile computer with an integrated micro projection display. The apparatus of one embodiment comprises a computing subsystem to process data and execute program instructions. An optical subsystem is coupled to the computing subsystem. The optical subsystem is integrated into the apparatus to project an image for the computing subsystem onto a viewing surface.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a computing subsystem to process data and execute program instructions;
- and
- an optical subsystem coupled to said computing subsystem, said optical subsystem integrated into said apparatus to project an image for said computing subsystem onto a viewing surface.
A mobile computer comprising:
- a memory to store instructions;
- a processor coupled to said memory, said processor to execute said instructions;
- a graphics controller coupled to said processor, said graphics controller to receive commands from said processor and to generate display data;
- a light modulator coupled to said graphics controller, to receive said display data and to modulate light based on said display data;
- and
- an optic coupled to said light modulator, said optic to receive modulated light from said light modulator, said optic to create an image on a surface.
