TI's new WVGA DLP pico-projector module is ready

TI has announced their second-generation DLP chip for pico-projectors back in February 2009, and now it's finally ready. The new chip is smaller than before, and supports WVGA resolution (854x480).

DLP chips, Gen1 and Gen2

TI has issued a press releasing listing a lot of new devices that use the new chip. There's an upcoming Samsung projector (called SP-H03) and one from ForYou, too. Hopefully we'll get more details on these two soon. Here's the complete list of DLP Gen-2 products listed in TI's release:

NTT DoCoMo pico-projector phone dock F-04B
Samsung W9600 projector phone
Asia Optical digital camera protoype
Optoma PK201 and PK301
Samsung SP-H03 projector
Foryou Media projector

Rumored Faking of Resolution???

Rumor has it that the new "WVGA" DLP is not really "WVGA". They apparently count corners of their "diamond" pixels as full pixels. Maybe this should be called F-WVGA, for fake wide VGA?
