Sure there are. Infrared-emitting Diodes. And it's a *low* frequency. Lower than our visible light spectrum. The "color" that's a high frequency is ultra-violet.

D'oh! You're absolutely right. I was writing IR and thinking UV. Cripes. More coffee needed.

At Pepcom event in New York Texas Instruments has introduced a proto of a cellphone projector. The device uses lasers as the light source, and an LED-based model is currently in the lab. Definitely such a module will be an extremely useful feature to any phone or a smartphone, as it eventually solves the small display problem.

In particular, the built-in projector can run presentations directly from the cellphone omitting PC. However image quality loses to professional projectors, anyway this in-handset projector will do for small presentations. There is another application of this solution, you can run video, pictures, web-pages etc. on a “big screen”.

Maybe more of a question is.... can anyone say if there is indeed 4 LED's in that corner? (Red, Blue, Green and IR). There is a flex cable going into that corner, assuming they share the same ground or Vcc, you'll need minimum of 5 "wires"...

Didn't check if the internal photo pictures on FCC site can be zoomed in enough to see that...

The colors are, in my experience:

Green: Charging
Blue: A power change, or message arrives
Red: Camera active

Sometimes pulsating. Sometimes blinking.
Infrared? I think not, but you're welcome to think that. :-)

I hope the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) can control the LED, as it would be a nice complement to many software applications.

Hm, I don't recall a white light, but you could be right. Any idea what caused it?
