A South Korean company developed a coin-size laser video projector module that can fit into portable gadgets such as mobile phones and digital cameras.

Iljin Display Thursday demonstrated various prototypes of mini-size projectors, which use its Single LCD Panel technology. Using the technology, users can project photos and video images on the wall from the built-in projector, making a seven-inch, full-color screen.

``About a half of mobile phones sold these days are equipped with a digital camera. In the future we expect a number of mobile phones will have built-in projectors too,¡-¡- said Park Seung-gwon, CEO of Iljin Display, during a press conference in Seoul on Thursday.

``We expect about five percent of all mobile phones to have the video projector function by 2010. That is more than 60 million units. And we aim to grab about 30 percent of the market at least, or 530 billion won a year.
