Laser video projector in your phone
It sounds a bit incredible, but instead of using high-power and extremely heat-intensive lamps and a igh resolution LCD screen this solution uses a laser and a single (pixel?) LCD panel.
Already there are projectors for presentations and home cinemas that are pretty small, but if giving comparable amount of luminance the laser technology could easily knock out the lamp/high-res LCD technology, simply because it's cheaper, smaller, less power-consuming and noise-less.
It's interesting that this is tried first in phones, when it would also make sense to integrate in notebooks.
