Cambridge firm gets $26m for tiny-projector tech
A Cambridge company looking to develop miniaturised projection systems for use in converged handsets has secured $26m of VC funding. Light Blue Optics raised the cash principally from Earlybird of Germany and Capital-E from Belgium. Funding was also forthcoming from the British 3i group and the UK's National Endowment for …

Sugarcube...
...sized things never work, apart of course for USB keyring storage, a TiB in about the volume of a sugar cube, and the cameras in untold number of phones.
Though sugar-cube size *and shape* is a bad idea for marketing, you'd just lose the thing.... so you'd have to buy a fresh one... that's brilliant! Sell it!

Lazerz?
Ahh this reminds me of the new tech I read about a while ago, not sure if it's the same thing, but they manage it by replacing the normally used large white lightbulb and TFT filters, and replacing them with scanning lasers.
Its easy to make a cheap red laser, semi-easy to make a cheap green laser, but blue ones aren't, but have come along now, theyre built into blu-ray players such as the PS3 (you can pay a company to pull a laser from a PS3 and make you a laser pointer! www.wickedlasers.com).
Theoretically, combining similarly powered red, green and blue lasers should be able to give you any colour with PWM. Scan them a la cathode-ray but using mirrors, and you can make full colour displays.
The great thing is that the mirrors can be minute, extremely light, and be moved precisely with very little power.
So except for the blue laser obstacle, its a wonder why they're not here yet - It'd be great having even a monochrome red or green scanning laser display!
Its not exactly magic guys.
Slightly concerning being stood in front of them though
