Sony on Tuesday launched its portable mobile projector, the MP-CL1. The handheld projector, which retails at Rs 26,990, uses a laser light source to deliver high definition resolution images (1,920 x 720p) with high contrast (80,000:1) for accurate colour rendition.

The short-throw, pocket-sized mobile projector – touted as a device which provides a new way to read, watch, connect and create – can display a screen size of up to 120 inches at a distance of 3.45 metres. The projector comes with a built-in speaker and can be used to display content from smartphones or tablets.

The MP-CL1 has a number of connection options, including connecting to a source via HDMI and interfacing with a smartphone or tablet device via MHL. Additionally, it sports a built-in screen mirroring function, which allows users to wirelessly mirror content from a smartphone, tablet device or PC via Wi-Fi.

The device’s processing system uses laser beam scanning technology to provide focus-free projection of HD images, even on uneven surfaces, and seamless viewing, claims Sony. Additionally, the device’s auto-focus feature allows the projector to keep constant and uninterrupted focus at various distances without the need for manual adjustments.
