Texas Instruments DLP technology is a micro- electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology that modulates light using a digital micromirror device (DMD). DMDs vary in resolution and size and can contain over 8 million highly reflective, digitally switchable, micrometer-sized mirrors (micromirrors) organized in a two-dimensional array (Figure 1).

Each micromirror on a DMD can represent one or more pixels on the screen and is independently modulated to create stunning displays. DLP technology powers the displays of products worldwide, from digital cinema and home theater projectors to virtual reality devices, digital signage, automotive heads-up displays, and more. TI DLP chipsets can enable bright, high resolution, portable displays of every size.
