Texas Instruments would like you to say hello to its little friend: the DLPC8445. The name might not be very exciting, but what it promises is: ultra-small 4K projectors with super-speedy refresh rates. The most portable we've seen so far is the LG CineBeam Q, but it's basically in a class of one right now, and that could change.
The DLPC8445 is a new digital light processing (DLP) controller, and according to Texas Instruments, it's the smallest of its kind, some 90% smaller than previous generations. According to the manufacturer it's been created "to replicate the display experiences of high-end televisions and gaming monitors in the form of a compact projector." That means 100-inch 4K projection with the promise of low lag, little image stuttering, and refresh rates of up to 240Hz for gaming.
