The Toshiba projector was unveiled by the Japanese company this week at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Germany. At the same event, Epson also revealed a compact LED projector prototype, while Mitsubishi, another Japanese company, has already demonstrated its own version. But the Toshiba model will be the first of its kind to go on sale before the end of 2005, and will cost about €1000 ($1250).
