Irvine, Calif. – September 07, 2026 -- Aurzen has unveiled the ZIP Pro, a tri-fold pocket projector the company calls the world's first Full HD device of its kind, and marked the launch with a display in Times Square ahead of IFA 2026.
The ZIP Pro unfolds to project an 80-inch Full HD screen and is designed for use in settings ranging from hotel rooms and campsite tents to the inside of a Tesla, according to Aurzen.
A compact chassis tackles the brightness problem
Aurzen says fitting Full HD performance into a pocket-sized device required solving a common projector design bottleneck: maximizing brightness without a bulky housing. The company built ZIP Pro on what it describes as a proprietary optical architecture engineered to balance volume, thermal dissipation, and light output within an ultra-compact frame.
The device debuts at IFA 2026 in Berlin
Aurzen will show the ZIP Pro at Showstoppers, a media event at Messe Berlin Fairgrounds Hall 5.3, on September 3, 2026. The projector will then appear at the main IFA 2026 exhibition, running September 4–8 at booth H21-106, Messe Berlin, Messedamm 22, 14055 Berlin. Aurzen also plans an online product debut on its official YouTube channel.
The ZIP Pro follows Aurzen's earlier ZIP model, which the company says was the first tri-fold, truly portable projector on the market.
