What is an optical module?
Buy production ready optical modules online from a worldwide supplier. An optical module is a compact assembly that includes a digital micromirror device (DMD), illumination (LEDs), optics and associated mechanics. Drive electronics are required to supply power and video to the optical module. Drive electronics can either be custom built using TI Designs reference designs or sourced from independent 3rd party companies as an evaluation platform.
Consult our definitions of optical module parameters and design considerations before you get started.
