1.2 Illumination

DLP technology is compatible with all visible light illumination sources, such as HID lamps, RGB LEDs, direct laser, laser/LED hybrid, and laser-phosphor illumination. Currently, most DLP Pico projection optical modules use RGB LED illumination due to its small size and high brightness efficiency. DLP Pico projection systems also use laser phosphor illumination to achieve higher brightness levels and smaller optical designs.
