4K UHD DLP technology

At the heart of DLP technology is a digital micromirror device (DMD), which can contain more than 8 million highly reflective, switchable, tiny mirrors each about the size of a human hair. Each of these mirrors can represent one or more pixels. Combined with optics and controlled by sophisticated signal-processing algorithms which modulate each mirror independently, the DMD drives stunning 4K UHD video and still images.

The recent expansion of the DLP technology family of chipsets has brought the richness of 4K UHD displays not only to traditional projection systems for business, education and home theater, but also to a variety of new applications. These applications are taking advantage of the lower power and increased portability offered by products based upon DLP 4K UHD chipsets, without sacrificing the screen size, resolution, brightness, or contrast that consumers expect in a 4K UHD display.
