9.6 Manufacturing Considerations

  • Never hot-swap the DMD during assembly
  • Follow all power-up and power-down requirements
  • Do not over tighten mechanical mounting hardware
  • To prevent stress concentration and uneven loads applied to the DMD tighten the mounting screws partially before final tightening
  • Use low power illumination during optical alignment to avoid overheating the DMD aperture or bond line
  • DMD temperatures should always be met during assembly (illumination alignment, characterization/testing, burn-in), storage, and operating
  • Exceeding the DMD window temperatures for even a brief period, like illumination alignment, can permanently damage the DMD that will not be detectable during the manufacturing process
