Other core components of the display system include an illumination source, an optical engine for the illumination and projection optics, other electrical and mechanical components, and software. The type of illumination used and desired brightness will have a major effect on the overall system design and size.

The display system uses the DLP471TP as the core imaging device and contains a 0.47-inch array of micromirrors. The DLPC6540 controller is the digital interface between the DMD and the rest of the system, taking digital input from front end receiver and driving the DMD over a high-speed interface. The DLPA3005 PMIC serves as a voltage regulator for the DMD, controller, and LED illumination functionality.
