2.4.1.2 Resolution

FOV also determines image resolution for a given DMD array size. Resolution of a HUD is typically measured in ppd. A person with 20/20 vision cannot notice resolution improvements in images above 60 ppd. The DLP3030-Q1 has a horizontal resolution of 864 pixels, which allows for a 14° wide FOV while maintaining a 60-ppd resolution. It is often useful to design for a slightly higher resolution display to allow for some image warping or other correction factors. For a 10° horizontal FOV, the DLP3030-Q1 provides 86-ppd resolution.
