Display bridge solution powers pico projector in mobile device

"One challenge of embedding pico projectors into smartphones is the lack of processor support for both a display and a pico projector," said Paul Karazuba, Quicklogic's senior product marketing and media manager. The ArcticLink III BX6 allows the single display interface signal from the device's applications processor to be duplicated and bridged so that it can drive both embedded display and the integrated pico projector. According to Quicklogic, the BX6 enables the connection of a two lane or four lane MIPI processor with a MIPI/RGB, LVDS/RGB or MIPI/LVDS display. The part is available in six variants and supports a maximum resolution of 1920 x 1200 at 60frame/s. It is supplied in a WLCSP measuring 4.5 x 4.5mm.
