Light Blue Optics' PVPro technology uniquely delivers the key benefits of compact size, low power consumption, robustness, and ease-of-use, making it ideally suited for a variety of applications. Future products will range from truly pocket-sized miniature projector accessories for iPods, phones, and other mobile devices, to a wide array of consumer electronics products with integrated projection capabilities.

In February 2006, Light Blue Optics announced a 'micro-mini' monochrome unit that is similar in size and shape to a typical matchbox (62 cc in volume). The EEDA award will help contribute to the next generation of this unit, which will use three miniature lasers to display full color video images.
