3 Optical Engine Requirements

The DLP5530Q1EVM can be coupled to an optical engine (not included) to implement a head-up display function or an automotive interior projection system. The detailed requirements of the optical engine are beyond the scope of this document, but the optical engine should have separate red, green and blue illuminators. These are typically LEDs. The optical engine will also need to provide a photodiode in the illumination path before the DLP5530-Q1 DMD. The photodiode is used to control white point and brightness output. A heatsink for the DLP5530-Q1 DMD might be needed for operation in high temperature ambient environments, but is not included in the DLP5530-Q1 Electronics EVM.

WARNING:

When choosing your LED component (not included with this EVM) the end user must consult the LED data sheet supplied by the LED manufacturer to identify the EN62471 Risk Group Rating and review any potential eye hazards associated with the LED chosen. Always consider and implement the use of effective light filtering and darkening protective eyewear and be fully aware of surrounding laboratory-type set-ups when viewing intense light sources that may be required to minimize or eliminate such risks in order to avoid accidents related to temporary blindness.
