DMD Micro-Mirror It is a proven and dependable technology preferred by leading electronics companies worldwide, with more than 1.5 million systems shipped to more than 50 manufacturers since 1996.
How does DLP work ?
The DMD chip is probably the world’s most sophisticated light switch. It contains a rectangular array of up to 1.3 million hinge-mounted microscopic mirrors; each of these micro-mirrors measuring less than one-fifth the width of a human hair, and corresponding to one pixel in a projected image.
Each mirror is individually powered by electronics that adjust the angle of the mirror according to the colour being displayed. Fundamentally, the mirror chip is a standard static memory design. Memory bits are stored in silicon as electrical charge in…
