The DLP5531-Q1 automotive DMD, combined with the DLPC230-Q1 DMD controller and TPS99000-Q1 system management and illumination controller, provides the capability to achieve high performance high resolution headlight systems. The 2:1 aspect ratio supports very wide aspect ratio designs, and the 1.3-MP resolution enables high resolution symbol projection and adaptive driving beam applications. The DLP5531-Q1 has more than 3 times the optical throughput of the preceding DLP3030-Q1 automotive DMD enabling an even larger field of view and higher lumens output. The DLP5531-Q1 automotive DMD micromirror array is configured for bottom illumination which enables highly efficient and more compact optical engine designs. The S450 package has low thermal resistance to the DMD array to enable more efficient thermal solutions.
