4K UHD Resolution

  • Ultra-fast switching speed.
    • The fast switching speed of the DMD enables 8.3 million pixels to be displayed on the screen using 4.15 million micromirrors.
    • Resolution delivered is equal to combining four 1080p displays.

High Performance Imager

  • High ANSI contrast reveals fine lines and details for excellent readability.
  • Alignment-free.
    • Optical engine designs using a single DLP chip are inherently aligned for perfect convergence, resulting in sharp, detailed images.

Flexible Technology

  • High thermal capability.
    • Enables numerous display products requiring high brightness solutions.
  • Light source agnostic.
    • Compatible with virtually any light source, including lasers, laser phosphor and LEDs.

Robust Ecosystem

  • Optical modules
  • TI.com support tools, technical documents and online community available to address technical questions.

Production-ready optical modules to aid developers, TI maintains a robust ecosystem, including independent companies with expertise in designing and manufacturing production-ready optical modules. An optical module is a compact assembly that includes a DLP DMD, an LED-based illumination source, optics and associated mechanics.
