Arovia designs and manufactures portable display hardware built on a proprietary nanomaterial screen. Its flagship product, Splay, is a 24.5-inch collapsible HD monitor that folds down to roughly the size of a hardcover book and also works as an ultra-short-throw projector casting images up to 80 inches. The company was founded in Houston, Texas by optical engineer Alex Wesley and mechanical engineer George Zhu, launching its first product via crowdfunding in 2016 and raising over $700,000 from backers. It now sells ruggedized, military-standard versions of the display for command posts, emergency response, and enterprise field use.
What sets it apart
A patented nanomaterial screen that collapses without wrinkling, so a full-size 24.5-inch display and an ultra-short-throw projector fit into a battery-powered, book-sized unit that meets US military durability standards.
A 2-in-1 foldable 24.5-inch HD display that expands and folds in seconds and doubles as a standalone ultra-short-throw pico projector able to project up to 80 inches on any surface.
