Digital Light Processing (DLP) Background
Background Information:
Digital Light Processing (DLP) is a display technology developed by Texas Instruments. DLP imaging systems employ either one or three large (large for electronic chips, that is) devices called Digital Micromirror Devices, or DMDs. The micromirrors are mounted on the DMD chip and tilt in response to an electrical signal. The tilt directs light toward the screen, or into a "light trap" that eliminates unwanted light when reproducing blacks and shadows.
Who Invented DLP
DLP was invented in 1987 by Dr. Hornbeck of Texas Instruments Inc. He developed the Digital Micromirror Device, or DMD: an optical semiconductor capable of steering photons with unparalleled accuracy. This digital micro-mirror - greatly refined - is the basis of modern DLP technology. In 2002 Dr. Hornbeck was elected Fellow of the International Society for Optical Engineering. The first commercial sub-systems using DLP were shipped in 1996 by nView for use in projectors. In 2001 the one-millionth DLP sub-system was shipped. By 2003 the number of DLP shipments reached 2 million.
