Standard chipsets – 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.

Use the DLP products optical module search tool to identify production ready optical modules from independent third party companies with expertise in designing and manufacturing optical modules utilizing DLP Products. These off-the-shelf modules can help accelerate development and time to market.

An actuator is an opto-mechanical device which is used in conjunction with DLP processing algorithms to display two or more projected pixels from a single DMD micromirror. DLP optical engine manufactures incorporate actuators into their optical engines, thus providing a turn-key solution for DLP system integrators.
