The DLP230GP digital micromirror device (DMD) is a digitally controlled micro-opto-electromechanical system (MOEMS) spatial light modulator (SLM). When coupled to an appropriate optical system, the DLP230GP DMD displays a crisp and high-quality image or video. DLP230GP is part of the chipset comprising the DLP230GP DMD and DLPC3432 and DLPC3472 controller. This chipset is also supported by the DLPA2000, DLPA2005 or DLPA3000 PMIC/LED driver. The compact physical size of the DLP230GP is well-suited for portable equipment where small form factor and low power is important. The compact DLP230GP DMD coupled with the controller and PMIC/LED driver provides a complete system solution that enables small form factor, low power, and high image quality displays.
