This two-part analyses report offers exceptional insight into the estimated manufacturing cost of this pocket projector, based upon manufacturing in Korea at a production volume of 25,000 units. The report also offers a comprehensive optical system performance analysis of the projector.

The Need:
Pocket projectors--small-size projectors powered by high-brightness (HB) LED illumination sources--are an emerging part of the projection industry. While this class of projectors have low light output and are fairly high priced, they hold great sales promise, because they can be utilized in professional and consumer settings.

Samsung's second-generation SP-P310 pocket projector is significantly different from its predecessor the SP-P300 that was released in late 2006. While the SP-P310 is strikingly similar in outward appearance to the Samsung's first-generation model, there are significant differences between the two LED digital pocket projectors. With almost double the lumen output, Samsung made changes to the optical system and used different LEDs this time around.

The Samsung SP-P310 LED Digital Projector: a Manufacturing Cost Analysis & Optical Performance Report contains a full manufacturing cost analysis and a reverse engineering optical system analysis. The destructive manufacturing cost analysis provides insight into the world-class cost estimates for the individual components required to manufacture this pocket projector. The data is critical and beneficial when considering competitive analysis, supply negotiations, and other manufacturing concerns. The reverse engineered optical system analysis provides an in-depth and thorough look at the optical performance and design trade-offs while providing a close-up look at "what's inside the box" optically.

The Contract Manufacturing Cost Analysis portion of the report includes two Excel spreadsheets containing estimated contract manufacturing cost analysis, high-resolution photos of assembly and subassembly components, Executive, Cost and Labor Summaries; Report Methodology, Packaging; Mechanical, Optical, and Electrical Components; and Final Preparations for the SP-P310 pocket projector. The goal of this part of the report is to provide a qualified estimate of what is should cost a world-class manufacturer to make this projector in Korea at a production volume of 25,000 units.

The Optical System Analysis portion of this report has 293 high-resolution photographs, graphs, and illustrations that cover the analysis of the optical system and layout, light engine assembly, illumination and imaging systems and their throughput; and optical components, subassembly components, unique design features, and color analyses for the SP-P310 pocket projector. The light engine assembly includes a comprehensive inventory of the optical components driven by the popular OSRAM Ostar® HB LEDs. Extensive optical testing was performed to provide you with a comprehensive optical system tear-down report with detailed measurements and color analysis data.

By purchasing this two-part analyses report you are saving on several levels. The cost of at least three or four weeks of optical and opto-mechanical engineering time, the investment in tools and measurement equipment, and the cost of a marching army to perform the actual tear-down and analyze the data. A company could spend $50,000 to $100,000 to accomplish everything offered in a report of this caliber. Realistically, no one is going to pay this amount for a single report. However, we are offering you this value-pack two-part analyses report at a price that won't break the bank-$4995.
