The Need:
Pico-projectors, projectors the size of a cell phone or even small enough to
integrate into a cell phone, are a topic of active development and products
are expected in 2008. This is a new product category and there is no
historical data on markets, prices or sales. There was a need to examine this
nascent market carefully to see how it is likely to develop, who is likely to
buy these projectors and what prices they are likely to pay.
Report Objective:
These pico-projectors are expected to use either laser, LED or hybrid
laser/LED illumination. The objective of this report is to apply the price,
performance and system level knowledge about lasers and LEDs developed in the
Laser and LED Projection Reports to the special needs of the pico-projector
market. The goal is to generate realistic forecasts based on engineering
analysis of price and performance, plus business, market and competitive
analysis to guide the developments by companies working in the field.
The 2008 edition of this report reflects the many advancements noted at CES 08
and additional interviews and analysis based on feedback from the November
2007 release of the report.
Highlights:
- Descriptions of the key sub-markets within the expected pico-projector
market.
- Identification of which sub-markets are best served by integrated
pico-projectors and which are best served by companion, stand-alone,
pico-projectors.
- Identification of the key requirements for both integrated and companion
pico-projectors.
- Evaluation of the various imaging technologies proposed for
pico-projectors and an evaluation of their ability to meet market requirements
- Forecast BOM cost estimates for both laser and LED-based projectors to
serve the markets. BOMs are estimated for 11 variations on pico-projector
designs
- Forecasts of the total pico-projector unit sales.
- Forecasts for pico-projector sales revenues.
- Identification of the key players in the pico-projector field.
- Evaluation of competitive technologies that could cut into the expected
pico-projector market.
This new addition:
- Adds more details on the penetration adoption models used to forecast
companion and integrated pico projectors
- Significantly increases the unit and revenue forecasts
- Updates the bill of material analysis
- Adds a new table summarizing all the major players (component and pico
projector) and their status of development and engagement
- Updates the pico projector technology comparative analysis for both
integrated and companion projectors
