The DLP473TE digital micromirror device (DMD) is a digitally controlled micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) spatial light modulator (SLM) that enables bright 4K UHD display systems. The TI DLP Products 0.47-inch 4K UHD chipset is composed of the DMD and DLPC8455 display controller, the DLPA3082 PMIC, and the DLPA100 color wheel driver. The compact physical size of the chipset provides a complete system solution that enables small form factor 4K UHD displays.

The DMD ecosystem includes established resources to help the user accelerate the design cycle, visit the DLP® Products third-party search tools to find approved optical module manufacturers and third-party providers.

Visit the Getting Started with TI DLP display technology page to learn more about how to start designing with the DMD.
