As more consumer electronics manufacturers look for ways to integrate image and video display capabilities, the demand for advanced projection technologies grows. Micron’s FLCOS tiny projection engines use very little power while delivering the image size and quality that make projection capabilities a reality for mobile consumers. We’re using best-in-class FLCOS technology to build revolutionary projection engines that offer the most compelling combination of brightness, color fidelity, and low power consumption for portable applications like pico projectors.
