MM200 mobile projector
More from Business
The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is one of the largest and most influential trade shows where small and large companies unveil their latest electronics products. 3M Co. previewed the MM200, a new design in the company's expanding miniature projection portfolio. The MM200 is the second generation of its mobile projection technology. A year ago, 3M debuted its first-generation mobile projection engine at the show. Since then, the company has integrated that engine into consumer platforms including the MPro110 -- the mobile projector that won the Grand Award in the gadget category of the Popular Science 2008 Best of What's New Awards. When integrated with a cell phone, handheld accessory or digital camera, the MM200 engine can project up to a 50-inch image while drawing only 1 watt of power. The MM200 uses an advanced liquid crystal on silicon electronic imager and is illuminated with multicolored light-emitting diodes. Medtronic offers new surgery power console
