The world's highest definition display projector has recently been developed by a US company.
The device is set to be exhibited for the first time at a scientific conference next week.
The projector displays a 33 megapixel resolution image with a 2:1 aspect ratio using a single column of 4,000 microelectromechanical (MEMS) devices, illuminated by a laser beam swept rapidly across a screen to create the illusion of a two-dimensional image.
The projector has twice the resolution capability of the previous largest projector.
Evans & Sutherlin of Salt Lake City, Utah has developed the projector to market to planetariums, scientific visualisation environments, simulators and training companies that currently deploy multiple smaller projectors wired together to display very large images.
The company has not revealed the computing and graphics hardware devices it uses to drive its massive laser projector, but that information should be available at the device's unveiling at the 2009 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics/International Quantum Electronics Conference that will run from May 31 to June 5 at the Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland.
