1. What is DMD ?
DMD: Digital Micromirror Device
Beginning to be developed by sight change according to the movement of Rear
View Mirror
Number of moving parts - 0.5 (SVGA) to >1.3 (TBA)
million
Mechanical motion - - - - - Makes discrete contacts or
landings
Lifetime - - - - - - - - - - - - - up to 100,000 hrs
Address voltage - - - - - - - 3.3-volt CMOS technology
Mechanical elements - - - - Aluminum
Process - - - - - - - - - - - - - Low temperature, sputter
deposition,
plasma etch (standard SC
processes)

1. What is DMD ?
Expressing light and shade by changes of selected light by path Mirror
Tilting
Expressing Gray level by times taken for path change
2. DLP Projector
Image Quality
- Pixelization (fill factor)
DLP= Seamless, Filmlike
LCD= Grainy, Pixellated
DLP = large active area LCD = smaller active area
- Contrast Ratio
DLP= simple optics: easier light management
LCD= complex optics: more difficult light management
- Sharpness (color alignment)
DLP= no misalignment
LCD= misalignment likely over time
DLP
LCD
- Video Quality
DLP= fast switching: minimal lag (few s)
LCD= slow switching: significant lag (tens of ms) smearing for fast
moving video
2. DLP Projector
- Color Quality
DLP= can match any LCD color gamut
LCD= cant match any DLP color gamut

2. DLP Projector
Reliable
- Superior thermal characteristics
DLP= reflects heat
LCD= absorbs heat, performance degrades
- LCD panel degrades as a function of both time and use
- DMDs have shown consistent robust performance over time with up to
100,000
hours lifetime
