The DLP230NP and DLP230NPSE .23 1080p digital micromirror devices (DMD) are digitally controlled micro-opto-electromechanical systems (MOEMS) spatial light modulators (SLM). When coupled with an appropriate optical system, the DMDs display a crisp and high-quality 1080p image or video. The full brightness chipset comprises the DLP230NP DMD and the DLPC3436 controller. The lower brightness chipset comprises the DLP230NPSE DMD and the DLPC3436 controller. The DLPA3000 and DLPA3005 PMIC/LED drivers support both chipsets, while DLPA2000 and DLPA2005 support the full brightness option only.The compact physical size of the device applies to portable equipment where high image quality, small form factor, and low power are important.
