Now no need to worry about the small screen of your laptop or your Smart Phone while you are on the go. Just carry a 24-inch SPUD screen in your back pocket. Yes you read it right, a 24 inch display in your back pocket. Read further to know about it.

A New startup named AROVIA has made it possible by making a Spontaneous Pop-Up Display(SPUD) which pops a 24-inch display, out of a box nearly equal to the size of Apple TV(2.2 x 5.6 x 7.5 inches). Its real easy to Pop out the screen by just unfolding the device and boom a screen pops out of that small thing in merely a second. Then you could connect it by either using a HDMI cable or wirelessly, using Intel's WiDi Protocol. It can be connected to your Smart Phone, Tablet or Laptop.

The founder of the company Alexander Wesley developed the idea while he was travelling as a product manager and lacked a screen room for making power point presentations and Excel sheets at the hotel room. He was funded by a National Science Foundation accelerator grant while at Rice University in Heuston.

It uses a vinyl made rear projector display. The screen is a 1280x720 resolution HD display which is quite sharp, company plans to bring display's with higher resolutions in the future. It hardly weighs 0.68Kg (1.5lbs) which is great. It cost lies between $300 to $500 that means roughly Rs. 20000 to Rs. 33000.
