2008 Pico-Projector Report Update Available

April 15, 2008 -- Insight Media has just released an updated edition of the 2008 Pico-Projector Market Segment Analysis - our second update since the report was released last November.

This latest edition updates the technology competitive analysis for integrated and companion pico projectors. We did this after seeking additional input from the key providers and have restructured the analysis to provide more clarity in our rating definitions and thinking behind each assessment. These rankings and assessments are our opinion, but we have tried to be careful to layout our arguments so you can better judge the validity of these ratings. In addition, we need to also point out that these ratings do not represent the definitive assessment of an option, but a rough score on their viability.

Pico projectors are tiny projectors that will be integrated into cell phones, smart phones, cameras, personal media players and other handheld or portable devices starting mostly in 2010. Somewhat larger versions, attached as companion projectors to these same products, will enter the market this year.

The report evaluates the various technical approaches to pico projectors providing performance and bill of material analysis. Forecasting looked at several models, with clear descriptions of the assumptions and methodology we used to develop the forecast.

Other information contained in the report:

• 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 108-page market segment analysis, written by Insight Media's Matthew Brennesholtz and Chris Chinnock, and is priced at $2,000. It can also be bundled with the Laser Projection Report, LED Projection Report or any of the 8 other market segments reports available or in process for LED and Laser sources.
