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 has a major effect on the overall system design and size.

The display system uses the DLP801RE DMD as the core imaging device and contains a 0.8-inch array of micromirrors. The DLPC4430 display 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 LVDS interface. The DLPA100 PMIC serves as a voltage regulator for the controller, and color filter wheel and phosphor wheel motor control. The DLPA300 provides the DMD reset control.
