History

The brand became internationally recognized in 2000, with the roll-out of the PenCam, which sold more than 2.5 million units in a short period.[3] In 2006, the company launched the world's first digital frame with an embedded camera to digitize analog photos. In 2010, Aiptek developed the Pocket Cinema V10, one of the first mobile projectors available in the worldwide market, followed by a series of other models.
