The DLP2021-Q1 automotive digital micromirror device (DMD) is designed for automotive exterior light control and display applications. Applications include ground projection that displays full color and animated and dynamic content. Ground projections help to facilitate vehicle-to-pedestrian (V2P) communication, such as back-up and door-open warnings, and orchestrate vehicle communication systems and vehicle personalization options. Due to their small form factor and low power operation, projectors with the DLP2021-Q1 chipset can support many projection applications. They can be placed in many locations in the car, including inside the side mirror, door panel, tail light, front grill, and more.
