Looking for a compact way to connect an HDMI cable to your DisplayPort-equipped laptop? Well this DP-HDMI2 dongle from Kuroutoshikou is probably as small as they’re ever going to get. According to Akihabara News it also supports HDCP (hooray?) and allows for audio pass-through. The only downside? While the dongle’s compact, you’ll still have to bring an HDMI cable with you at all times for it to be of any use.

The ones I've seen before aren't that big either. Plus the extra length gives a bit more freedom.
Even if your laptop had an HDMI port, you'd have to carry around an HDMI cable for it to be of any use. If this product had an HDMI cable attached to it, everyone would complain that the cable was too long, or too short, or an inferior brand that didn't have enough shielding. This design is good because is effectively allows a laptop to pretend it has an integrated HDMI port.
The only downside is the link you provided only sells and ships this product in Japan.
