Techopedia Explains Pico Projector
Pico projectors offer a small package and efficient design solution for content sharing and entertainment. They may come with or without a battery, in which case they must be connected to an external power source, such as a computer. A USB or A/V cable can provide pico projectors with power. Batteries can be chargeable or replaceable, depending on the model. Standalone pico projectors need an external source for data, as they do not have built-in memory and cannot display an image until another device is connected to stream a signal. Media player projectors are pico projectors that include a memory slot or have built-in memory.
Pico projectors are sometimes included as embedded hardware in mobile devices, such as cell phones, cameras or laptops.
