6.1 Overview

The DLP473NE digital micromirror device (DMD) is a 0.47-inch diagonal spatial light modulator, which consists of an array of highly reflective aluminum micromirrors. The DMD is an electrical input, optical output micro-optical-electrical-mechanical system (MOEMS). The fast switching speed of the DMD micromirrors combined with advanced DLP image processing algorithms enables each micromirror to display four distinct pixels on the screen during every frame, resulting in a full 1920 × 1080 pixel image being displayed. The electrical interface is low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS). The DMD consists of a two-dimensional array of 1-bit CMOS memory cells. The array is organized in a grid of M memory cell columns by N memory cell rows. Refer to the Functional Block Diagram. The positive or negative deflection angle of the micromirrors can be individually controlled by changing the address voltage of the underlying CMOS addressing circuitry and micromirror reset signals (MBRST).

The DLP 0.47” 1080p chipset is comprised of the DLP473NE DMD, the DLPC8454 display controller, and the DLPA3082 PMIC. For reliable operation, always use the DLP473NE DMD with the DLP display controller and the PMIC specified in the chipset.
