Light Blue Optics Ltd (LBO) has developed a revolutionary technology for miniature laser projectors dubbed PVPro™. Today they announced their latest demonstrator unit, which is only 3.78 cubic inches in volume, and is similar in size and shape to a typical matchbox.

LBO has developed unique laser -based projection technology, which uses computational algorithms and novel optical techniques to allow miniature lasers to display video images in real-time using the diffractive nature of laser light. This overcomes the size limitation of conventional projection techniques, allowing projectors to be smaller than ever before. Understand that there is no glass, no prisms, NO MOVING PARTS, and no need for fans to provide heat dissipation. In addition, it runs on less than 1.5W at full power and less than 350mW while displaying typical video images (50% average pixel amplitude. There is also an infinite focus, meaning that no matter how close or far away, there are no optics to adjust for a clear picture. The latest monochrome 'micro-mini' version represents the third generation of the PVPro algorithms and optomechanical design. It is a crucial step in allowing the company's customers to manufacture compact projectors for use in a range of applications.

Since March 2003 InterConnection has sourced and shipped thousands of computers and monitors to organizations around the world.  The following is a partial list of computer recipients:

Computers will be used to provide training for impoverished Paraguayan farming communities. Ex-Peace Corps volunteers Joel Correia and Karen Schlatter raised funds for the project by riding their bikes through southern South America.  

InterConnection teamed with the Puget Sound Center for Teaching, Learning and Technology to provide computers to graduates of their TechReach program. Students are from the rural towns of Sunnyside, Granger and Pasco.
