However, I stumbled on this some times ago, which seems to fullfill the needs:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/5359724.stm It's basically a red and blue laser diode, aimed at a very tiny vibrating mirror. The problem is, as the article says, that they can't use green diodes, because these aren't small enough. I don't know the technical details for this obstacle though. Red and blue should be enough for text though, at least you will be able to render red, purple and blue. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
