6.1 Flash Memory

A flash memory PCB is typically integrated with the optical module (mounted on the exterior or on a flex cable connecting the DLP controller and DMD) and stores the firmware and configuration data (generated by DLP Composer software), and illumination calibration data (e.g. white point alignment for different image settings in a pico projector) provided by the optical module manufacture. The flash memory interfaces with the DLP controller when the optical module is integrated into a projection system.
