1. A device, comprising:
- a light source component configured to generate light for projection of an image on a surface external to the device;
an optical modulation component configured to selectively transmit the light according to data included in a signal representative of the image;
a power storage component configured to store power for the generation of the light and the selective transmission of the light, and to store the power independent of an external power supply; and
a power transmission component configured to provide the power to the light source component and the optical modulation component.

Abstract
Described herein are devices that provide projection-type video output in a portable and flexible design. The design includes a projection chamber, a base, and an interface that permits relative positioning between the projection chamber and base. The base maintains the position of the display device. The projection chamber includes components responsible for the production of images based on received video data and components responsible for the projection of those images. Relative pointing between the projection chamber and base allows the projection chamber to be pointed—and an output projected image to be positioned—with minimal effort.
