Abstract
There is known a telecommunication terminal with a miniature display for received, visually perceptible information, such as, for example, fax messages. In addition, a device is known for projecting computer images or TV images, the device comprising a so-called DMD chip (Digital Mirror Device). It is proposed to improve the aforedescribed telecommunication terminal (MS) by providing the terminal with projection means (DMD, FL) which can basically only be used for the device described above. In addition, the device described above is improved by being provided with an interface circuit for connection to a telecommunication terminal. Accordingly, the conventional means known in the field of computer technology and TV technology for projecting images are now used in or for a telecommunication terminal, especially in a mobile radio telephone (MS). With the received image data, images can be projected directly onto a projection screen, for example, onto a wall. Several people can view the images simultaneously. An output device, such as, for example, a printer for fax messages, is not required.
