5 Selecting the Correct DLP Display Chipset

There are several factors to consider selecting the correct chipset. To get started quickly, there are resources available that you can leverage as shown in Table 5-1.

The following qualifiers can help you down select the DLP chipset that you need for your display application:

Portfolio overview: DLP display products have a wide range offering starting at a nHD resolution supporting 50 lm up to 4K resolution supporting over 10,000 lm. There are two general offerings:

  • DLP Standard chipsets. These products are design for large displays with high brightness and resolution requirements ranging from .55 XGA (DLP550JE) resolution to 0.66 4K UHD (DLP660TE) resolution. These chipsets are also referred as Enterprise and Cinema Display (ECD) chipsets.
  • DLP Pico chipsets. With mirror arrays ranging from 0.16-inch to 0.47-inch, DLP Pico products are designed for small applications. From QnHD (DLP160AP) to 4K UHD (DLP472TP) resolutions, DLP microdisplay brings colorful and crisp images to virtually any surface.
