7.3.1 Micromirror Array

The DLP3034-Q1 DMD consists of a two-dimensional array of 1-bit CMOS memory cells that determine the state of the each of the 608 × 684 micromirrors in the array. Refer to Physical Characteristics of the Micromirror Array for a calculation of how the 608 × 684 micromirror array represents a 16:9 dimensional aspect ratio to the user. Each micromirror is either “ON” (tilted +12°) or “OFF” (tilted –12°). Combined with appropriate projection optical system the DMD can be used to create clear, colorful, and vivid digital images.
