UV (<420nm) DMDs
Our ultraviolet digital micromirror devices (DMDs) deliver high-resolution, high-throughput light control for industrial processes that demand precision and repeatability. Optimized for wavelengths down to the deep-UV spectrum, these devices support applications such as direct imaging, 3D printing and semiconductor lithography. By combining optical efficiency with scalable design, our devices help engineers achieve faster workflows, sharper features and long-term reliability in production environments.
Why choose TI DLP ultraviolet DMDs?
DLP technology for industrial innovation
Driving innovation in digital manufacturing
Digital imaging with DLP technology provides an alternative to mask-based approaches. Acting as a programmable photomask, the DMD delivers fast, high-resolution, scalable, and precise printing, directing light patterns to expose photosensitive materials. Eliminating masks reduces material costs, shortens mask fabrication time, removes mask inventory management, and accelerates development.
High resolution and speed support rapid pattern changes and immediate corrections. These advantages scale effectively, improving yield and enabling panel-level production. DLP direct imaging supports PCB manufacturing, flat-panel display repair, laser marking, advanced packaging, and other light exposure applications.
How DLP Technology Enables Panel-level Advanced Packaging
TI DLP<sup>®</sup> Technology Delivers High-Precision Digital Lithography for Advanced Packaging
High-resolution, high-speed 3D printing powered by DLP technology
TI DLP technology for 3D printing applications projects 2D structured light patterns with a digital micromirror device (DMD) to cure photosensitive resins or fuse powdered materials. By exposing an entire layer in parallel, DLP technology delivers faster print speeds and higher resolution than point-by-point methods such as lasers.
With programmable light control across a broad spectrum, DLP solutions offer flexibility for a variety of additive manufacturing processes. High optical efficiency, precise pixel placement, and repeatable accuracy enable fine feature resolution, smooth surface finishes, and reliable scaling from rapid prototyping to production-level 3D printing.
