6.1 Overview

The DLP472NP DMD is a 0.47-inch diagonal spatial light modulator that consists of an array of highly reflective aluminum micromirrors. The DMD is an electrical input, optical output micro-optical-electrical-mechanical system (MOEMS). 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 underlying CMOS addressing circuitry and micromirror reset signals (MBRST).

The DLP 0.47” 1080p FHD chipset is comprised of the DLP472NP DMD, DLPC8444 display controller, and the DLPA3085 or DLPA3082 PMIC driver. To ensure reliable operation, the DLP472NP DMD must always be used with the DLP display controller and the PMIC specified in the chipset.
