DLP PROJECTORS AND DISPLAYS

DLP (Digital Light Processing) technology is based on a DMD (Digital Micromirror Device) which switches light through millions of microscopic mirrors spaced less than 1 micron apart. The technology was developed by Texas Instruments. The mirrors can be switched on and off thousands of times a second. Combined with a colour wheel, DLP can produce more than 16 million colours. Video or graphic signals are turned into digital code that tilts the DMD mirrors, reflecting a digital image onto a display panel or a presentation wall. DLP consistently delivers very high picture quality, the projection is immune to heat, humidity or vibration, power consumption is not high and it has a long product lifetime.

DLP technology is available in many commercial and home applications including projectors, large screen TVs, home theatre systems, commercial displays and video walls. For configurations consisting of multiple displays, the system may be networked (wired or wireless) allowing central control and content delivery. DLP screens are currently available in sizes from 43" to 65"

Advantages of DLP

• Excellent colour reproduction
• Excellent contrast ratios
• Bright projections even when ambient light is high
• Sharp projections produce a mirror image of an incoming video or graphic signal
• High DLP speeds allow more accurate reproduction of rapid motion without blur or smear
• Images are smoother than other technologies in which individual pixels are clearly visible
• Screens do not suffer burn in
• Lightweight

DLP is suitable for applications in retail stores, restaurants, shopping malls, educational facilities, places of worship, museums, boardrooms and presentation rooms of all sizes. DLP is ideal for home theatres. DLP is geared mainly to indoor applications but is also suitable for certain types of outdoor applications. Effective and easy to operate software permit the rapid change of messages. Live data can be integrated and displayed.
