Digital Display Glasses for Mobile TV

Similar to Vuzix eyewear products, Mobintech will be launching their new Digital Display Glasses for mobile TV at the upcoming CTIA Wireless 2009 trade show in Las Vegas.

These Personal Display Glasses (PDGs, as Mobintech calls them) are said to have a better picture quality, and almost double the battery life as compared to watching TV on your mobile phone. Mobintech also says that when combined with the stereo earplugs, it is equivalent to watching TV at home on a 30” TV.

They will be available in four colors: red, white, black and silver. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. Perhaps we’ll find out more as CTIA gets closer.

Press release:

The Worlds first Digital Display Glasses for mobile TV to be launched at International CTIA Wireless 2009 in Las Vegas.

March18, 2009 – Denmark- based company, Mobintech A/S, today announced the launch of the innovative digital PDG at the International CTIA Wireless 2009 trade show in Las Vegas. The PDG replaces the small screen on a mobile phone and is expected to revolutionize the market for mobile TV. Mobintech’s PDG’s are the first digital PDG on the market, which offers new, great benefits for consumers like: double battery-time compared to viewing mobile TV on the phone screen, no extra cables or batteries, no flickering as known from analogue display glasses and more mobility due to lighter and smaller design.

Together with a mobile phone equipped with a digital TV-out interface, the digital PDG creates new possibilities for mobile operators and mobile content suppliers in making more revenue from content services like mobile TV. With the PDG live mobile TV, news, sport, shows and videos will be accessible for users in a much more entertaining and user-friendly manner wherever they are in the office, in the home or on the go. The device is also perfect for the large group of people commuting on trains, busses or planes as this is the ideal situation for relaxing and watching movies or downloaded material.

"We are proud to finally launch the result of several years of intensive work. The digital PDG allows the football match, news or movie to come to live and give operators and manufactures a new, unique offering towards the growing number of consumers who are interested in mobile TV.” said Christian Zilstorff, CEO Mobintech A/S."

The amount of consumers who are already using mobile TV is large and the expectations for this market are huge as more and more content will be available similar to your TV at home and at a reasonable price.

The digital PDG technologies developed by Mobintech secure a sharp and crisp image quality which, combined with the stereo earplugs, create an experience equivalent to watching TV at home on a 30” TV. Mobility is truly supported by ensuring that no external battery packages or chargers are needed. The Mobintech PDG use the battery power of the mobile phone, but with much lower power consumption than the screen of the mobile phone, allowing consumers to watch up to double the hours of mobile TV due to the low-power patent pending technology. The new PDG comes in a stylish Danish design in a variety of cool colors. The design is created by leading Danish designers and is elegant and ultra-light weight as well as created in a slim, narrow design that even allows users to keep an eye on the external surroundings.

The Mobintech booth and the display of digital PDGs can be found at International CTIA Wireless in Las Vegas Congress Center April 1-3, 2009: Booth 8528.
