Electronics for DLP/sup TM/ technology based projection systems

Abstract

Digital Light Processing/sup TM/ (DLP/sup TM/) projection technology, based on the Digital Micromirror Device/sup TM/ light modulator is currently used in a wide variety of display applications to create high quality imagery. In this paper we present an overview of the electronics architecture of a DLP/sup TM/ technology based projector. Descriptions of the DMD/sup TM/ modulator drive methods and data formatting electronics are presented, as well as a brief summary of the video and graphics processing architectures.
